Shelter, Support and Housing Administration

Services for Seniors (21.6 MB), the latest service directory from Shelter, Support and Housing Administration, presents easy-to-use information about topics such as elder abuse, counselling, health services, housing options, benefit programs, recreational activities and more. It explains what services are available, who is eligible, and how to access them. Print copies will be available in June to senior-serving agencies and programs. To place an order, contact ssha@toronto.ca with the number of copies being requested, and the contact information for delivery.
