To end chronic homelessness in Toronto, we need your help.
Homes First has been providing supportive housing and shelter for 40 years.Â
A champion of the adoption of the Housing First approach to ending chronic homelessness in Toronto, we remain one of the largest providers for people with the fewest housing options.Â
The Power of Home
With your help, we can develop welcoming environments that inspire and support our residents.
The cooking activity had strong impact connecting us back to our culture and background.Â
It was a wonderful feeling to know that [Homes First Staff] is thinking of us refugees to make us feel at home.Â
The wonderful feeling of togetherness and willingness on how different people including management came to taste what we cooked was amazing.Â
Thank you.Â
