If you need emergency shelter, please call Central Intake at 416-338-4766.

If you need assistance with your MyAccesstoHousingTO application, support is available for you. The Access to Housing Resource Centre or a local Housing Help Centre can help you:

  • apply for Rent-Geared-to-Income housing
  • view and select housing options
  • update your existing application
  • access other housing options, or keep your existing housing and avoid eviction

From September 12 to November 30, the City will be hosting workshops for unregistered RGI applicants at the Toronto Reference Library at 789 Yonge St.

In these hands-on sessions, you can learn how to:

  • register your application in MyAccesstoHousingTO
  • navigate MyAccesstoHousingTO to maintain your eligibility

Applicants will have an opportunity to follow along with the facilitators in their online account.
