Essex County's Intensive Supportive Housing Program will soon end.

Chez Nous takes in people from across the county and Windsor .

It provides a higher level of services than other homeless programs for those requiring complex support.

Essex County council voted to end the program and transfer residents to other facilities across the region.

Essex County has asked local MPPs to appear before council to discuss funding to address homelessness.

Residents average 10 medications a day and may need help to go to the washroom, or go to a medical appointment.

Residents who move to other facilities will likely have to live with roommates.
