How are people referred to the Lighthouse?
Individuals needing accommodation during regular Business hours, Monday-Friday can contact the Halton Region. (The Coordinated Intervention Services Team: 905-825-6000). After regular Business hours and on weekends individuals can contact the Lighthouse directly: 905-339-2918. Regional Staff complete an in-depth assessment/screening of the individual with regard to their mental, emotional and physical health, as well as any history of substance abuse or police involvement. Individuals screened out for any of these reasons are referred to more appropriate services. Regional staff work closely with the Lighthouse Staff to determine whether or not the individual is appropriate to stay at the facility. The safety of the Lighthouse residents, staff, and community is always the top priority in determining who will be accepted into the Lighthouse.
