HOLLY STREET ADVOCACY CENTRE FOR THE ELDERLY INC.

Holly Street Advocacy Centre for the Elderly provides legal advice, representation, and community support to older adults facing financial abuse, housing issues, and other legal challenges. The organization works directly with seniors in Toronto who lack access to affordable legal help, connecting them with lawyers and social workers who can address problems like estate disputes, landlord conflicts, and exploitation. Beyond individual cases, the centre offers workshops and outreach to help seniors understand their rights and recognize warning signs of abuse. Staff advocate on behalf of clients in court proceedings and government processes while also building awareness among health and social service providers about the legal vulnerabilities older people face. The organization serves as a bridge between Toronto's legal system and seniors who might otherwise navigate complex legal matters alone or suffer preventable harm.
