Extreme Poverty Projects Canada

Extreme Poverty Projects Canada works directly with people living in severe poverty across North York and the GTA, offering practical support through emergency assistance, housing navigation, and access to basic necessities. The organization runs food programs, helps individuals secure stable housing, and connects people to employment and skills training opportunities. Staff and volunteers work with some of the city's most marginalized populations, including those experiencing homelessness, recent immigrants, and people facing crises that push them below the poverty line. Rather than focusing on temporary relief alone, the charity addresses the underlying barriers that keep people trapped in extreme poverty, helping clients build pathways toward financial stability and independence.
