Community Development Programs

Community Development Programs

Community engagement and support are integral to the continued success of our many housing and shelter programs, in so many ways. With the leadership of our Community Development and Engagement department, Homes First has succeeded in forming strong ties with resident groups, businesses, and councilors across the GTA. We are grateful for the opportunity to work, live and serve Toronto’s diverse community members. Through work with our Community Liaison Committees, neighbourhood virtual check-ins or community education workshops like Art of Neighbourhood and free webinars aimed to discuss various complexities around secure housing, Homes First is able to build lasting relationships, develop community partnerships and address community questions and concerns in the process.
