Expansion of the Concurrent Disorders Transitional Support Partnership (CDTSP) is shaped by the partnership’s funding and planning requirements as well as an interested agency’s:

• Current operation in the Toronto Central LHIN (downtown Toronto).
• Its capacity for serving persons who are marginalized and have a concurrent disorder.
• Its ability to meet the service needs of the partnership and to serve these clients on a prioritized basis.

To consider joining, an agency should understand the process of becoming a partner, that is:

• Determine whether the partnership is currently considering expansion.
• Write a letter or email to the manager of Concurrent Disorders Support Services (CDSS), indicating interest and describing the client population, relevant services, need for the partner services and potential offerings.
• Meet with representatives of CDSS to discuss CDSS operations, the agency’s offerings and any mutual benefits of collaboration.
• Await approval by the partnership.
• Collaborate to draft a partnership agreement.
• Attend a management orientation and schedule staff presentation(s) of CDSS and its operations.
• Start attending partnership meetings.
