The Salvation Army Stan Hagen Centre for Families

The Stan Hagen Centre for Families provides emergency shelter, transitional housing, and support services for families experiencing homelessness across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. The centre offers safe accommodation alongside practical assistance including meals, counseling, job training, and help accessing permanent housing. Staff work with families to address underlying factors contributing to homelessness, such as mental health challenges, addictions, and financial instability. The facility operates as both an immediate refuge for families in crisis and a stepping stone toward long-term stability, with case managers helping residents develop action plans for independent living. Services extend to children as well, recognizing that family homelessness affects every member's wellbeing and future prospects.
