Summit Housing & Outreach Programs (under the name of Summit
House) was created in 1981 in response to the desperate need for
supportive affordable housing for people with diagnosed mental
illnesses. At that time, there were virtually no mental health
supportive housing projects available for people being discharged
from hospital, or for other individuals who were homeless or at
a risk of becoming homeless. In 1982 Summit Housing & Outreach
Programs opened its first shared living house in Burlington for
five people.
Our organization now offers a wide variety of housing options in
Burlington, Oakville, Milton, Georgetown and Acton. In addition, we are able
to provide a variety of case management services which include assertive community treatment throughout the Region
of Halton.
