Duncan Higgon
Director of Housing, PHS Community Services Society, Canada
The PHS is a non-profit organization focused on harm reduction for those typically living with concurrent disorders. The PHS provides housing, medical and harm reduction services, food services, peer programming and day programs for those living with numerous barriers to traditional medical and housing supports.
As Director, I am responsible for a portfolio of 25 supportive housing and sheltering outreach sites and services; that challenge the status quo by working towards a zero-eviction policy. I am consistently looking to adapt to the political and external environment without wavering from the individual, community, and outcome focused lens.
Demonstrated proficiency with relationship building with public bodies and key funders.
