Off the top of my head, the 'situation tables' or 'wellness tables, that have been led by the OPP in this province look to address the social determinants of frequent 'visitors' in their system.
Waterloo has been the lead in the province. http://www.usask.ca/cfbsjs/research/pdf/research_reports/AnEvaluationoftheConnectivitySituationTablesinWaterlooRegion.pdf

The other I heard about recently was donated legal support to those who experience a high number of fines with no means to 'fight' or pay. The lawyers are able to address the courts and either have the fines waived or reduced.

Subject: Addressing Community Vagrancy

Hello

I am looking for information (research, environmental scans, best practices, etc) on what a municipality can do and what individual businesses can do to help improve a situation of chronically addicted homeless people on a community Main Street / business sector that (a) aren't getting services they need (b) affect the sense of safety in the community (3) affect the businesses in the community through loitering and interacting with customers.

I would appreciate any projects, documents, or resources you can point me to!

Thank you,

Steve Pedersen, MPH
