  • It started with one phone call 📞

Logan Ling from Response Innovations (RI) wanted to do something good for their community—and WOW did they deliver. Brand-new underwear, cozy sweaters, coats, and essentials for the women at Street Haven. 

And when we arrived? We were greeted by the real MVP… Izzy 🐶 Instant mood boost!

Our neighbourhood—Gerrard & Sherbourne—is home to one of the highest concentrations of shelters in Toronto. It’s often misunderstood, but it’s also where critical, life-changing work happens every single day.

If you’re a local business, look around. Who’s doing important work nearby? Start with a phone call—just like Logan did.

Gerrard & Sherbourne businesses, we’d love to connect.

  • We are SO excited to be part of U of T’s @womensadvocacyoutreach (WAO) Women Helping Women Convention tomorrow!  💙

We truly couldn’t be more grateful for the relationship WAO has created with Street Haven. From volunteering at our shelter this past January to fundraising, WAO is an incredible group of U of T students dedicated to advocating and supporting women and women’s rights in their community and across the world.  

Our Executive Director, Andrea, has been invited as a guest speaker, and all ticket proceeds go directly toward supporting our organization.  

We will have a Street Haven table so come say hi, grab some info, and chat with us about what we do! With the Convention centred around intersectional grassroots advocacy, we can’t think of a better event for us to be a part of.

 This is what Cynthia Lewis had to say: “I am very proud of the Employment Team and their accomplishments this year. They are innovative, adaptive and responsive in their work to provide employment supports to our clients, both within Street Haven and the broader community. There have been some great wins and it is very rewarding to see our clients find employment and move ahead in their journey. The employment program has provided us with more visibility in the community and the opportunity to make a tangible impact for our clients. Our program will only grow stronger in the next year, based on our experiences and learnings. I encourage the community to self refer to our services, participate in our programs and call on us for support! You will be happy that you took that first step.”

  • Big news at Street Haven! 🎉 We’re so proud to announce the opening of our new Training Centre. 💙 

Thanks to two grants of $400,000 from the @ontrillium , we’ve launched a brand new Training Centre right inside our 87 Pembroke Street shelter, along with expanded on-site mental health services for the women we serve. Now shelter residents and clients can access education, digital literacy, job readiness supports, counselling, and mental health services all in one place, without having to navigate multiple locations or systems. 

Today, the @wcg.services team made a site visit to the training centre to overlook the functioning of the space and see the team in action. The space is designed to allow clients to access digital resources, receive support in employment and training services, while encouraging them to build social connections and network with their peers. 

We’re so grateful to the Ontario Trillium Foundation for believing in this vision and helping us expand what’s possible for women experiencing homelessness in Toronto.
