Urban Health & Homelessness

  • smiling man sitting in the Corner Drop-in

    People who are homeless and marginally-housed struggle with the most basic necessities: food, shelter…even having someone to listen.

Whether its nutritious hot meals, primary and mental health care, housing and daytime shelter, harm reduction, case management, or one-to-one counselling, our safe, welcoming spaces offer services that help the most vulnerable people in the city with their most pressing needs, while looking at long-term solutions for the root causes of homelessness. Together with our partners, we develop programs that respond to people’s changing needs, and bridge the gap between survival and healthy, stable lives.

Drop in and Mobile Services

For people who are homeless and struggling with substance use, the need for basic services has never been greater. Whether our services are offered on site or in the community, we use a trauma-informed approach to provide life-saving support, including overdose prevention, harm reduction, nutritious meals, and crisis counselling. By offering low-barrier services, our staff builds trust and encourages people to access the essential long-term care they need through referrals to other services, health care providers, housing services and support groups.

Peer Programs

The struggle for people who are homeless and living with substance use issues is constant. Peer workers know this all too well. Their lived experience gives them insight and emotional awareness to help people who are going through what the peers did. By acting as mentors and advocates, peer workers play a critical role in helping people access the life-saving services they need, while gaining stability in their own lives by improving their skills and getting paid for meaningful work.
