Help support resilience and stabilization for people across Toronto who live with mental illness and addictions, who are hard hit by this pandemic. Feeding the hungry has never been so easy!
Who we are
- We offer mental health and addiction programs and offer many community programs to reduce social isolation and build a community of peers
- We have housed more than 2,500 people and served over 80,000 meals
- We train participants in basic and transferable work skills an we employ them in part time casual jobs
- We offer a comprehensive basket of services. After 40 years, we cover the entire GTA. We advocate and educate to address homelessness
- We currently house 500 individuals, including 60 families. Our goal is to ensure that those most at risk of homelessness, never again face life on the streets
WHY ARE WE UNIQUE
In addition to permanent affordable housing, we provide a wide range of services to support recovery for those living with mental health challenges and addictions. Our social programs bring participants together to help address their biggest threats – poverty, social isolation and food security.
DONATE
The economic impact of inadequate housing and homelessness in our City is high. At Houselink & Mainstay a house is more than a roof over one’s head; it represents dignity, security and above all hope. Supportive housing has been identified as a cost-effective model that helps save taxpayer dollars.
