About this service
The Domiciliary Hostel Program or DHP prevents homelessness by providing a subsidy for safe and affordable supported housing in a communal setting (Residential Care Facility) for people who require assistance with the daily activities of life.
The City of Hamilton recognizes the DHP as an important part of the housing continuum. The program offers choices of housing with support options for people who would otherwise be homeless, inappropriately housed in institutions and/or shelters or inadequately supported in other settings.
The goal of the DHP is for residents to achieve housing stability with the greatest community participation and quality of life possible.
