Hostel Services provides shelter and assistance to homeless individuals and
families with children. Meals and basic necessities are provided in a secure
environment, as well as case management, counselling and support programs for
adults and children. Housing workers help clients get permanent housing. About 4,000 households are housed during the year.
Together, the City and dozens of community partners provide about 3,800 emergency
hostel beds in 57 locations, including nine locations operated by the City. During
the winter, additional shelter spaces are made available through the Out
of the Cold program and the Extreme Cold Weather Alert system. City funding
also supports the Habitat
Services program, which supplies 931 boarding home and rooming house beds
for adult psychiatric survivors.
