HOMES FIRST FOUNDATION

Homes First Foundation provides housing and support services to people experiencing homelessness in Toronto. The foundation operates multiple transitional and permanent housing programs, alongside mental health services, addiction treatment, and employment support. By combining safe shelter with practical wraparound services, Homes First helps individuals stabilize their lives and move toward independence. The organization works directly with people facing complex barriers to housing, including those with mental illness, substance use challenges, and histories of chronic homelessness. Through its programs across the GTA, Homes First removes obstacles that prevent people from securing and maintaining permanent housing, recognizing that stable accommodation forms the foundation for addressing other life challenges.
