🌟 Volunteer of the Month: Lexy 🌟 "I've always been interested in art and creating things. It developed into a passion for design that I've now gotten the opportunity to use in helping Street Haven digitally present their life-changing services." – Lexy, OCAD Student & Street Haven Volunteer In just two months, Lexy has transformed the way Street Haven shows up in the world. With her creative eye and design expertise, she brought a new sense of calm, unity, and recognition to our branding — introducing the soothing blue and yellow palette and the cohesive style that now reflects our mission of empowerment and hope. Her work reminds us that visibility matters — that when our message is clear and recognizable, our reach and impact grow. As Lexy moves on to focus on her studies and new creative projects, we want to thank her for her incredible contribution. Your talent, heart, and vision have left a lasting mark, Lexy — one that will continue to inspire everything we create. 💙💛 We wish you all the best in what’s ahead and know that you’ve made a real difference here at Street Haven. #VolunteerOfTheMonth #StreetHaven #Community #OCAD #DesignForGood #WomensEmpowerment #ThankYouVolunteers

Being more than a roof, shelters provide a needed foundation of safety and stability, removing individuals from immediate dangers, such as exposure to harsh weather, violence, and exploitation. In addition to necessities like meals, showers, and laundry facilities that help restore a sense of dignity and physical well-being, essential supports like Supportive Housing, Mental Health services, the Literacy and Basic Skills program and the Pathways to Independence program at Street Haven need to be a core part of shelters. By ensuring an environment that delivers targeted resources, shelters illuminate a path for a better future, regained independence, building confidence, re-entering the workforce, and ultimately transitioning to success. Each journey requires its own set of support, and at Street Haven it is our misson to ensure every woman gets her curated support and success. #integratedservices #safetyandstability #buildingfutures #essentialsupports #shelters #housingsupport #illuminatingfutures #targetedresources

Today, we remember. This #RemembranceDay, we honour the women who served — at home and overseas — whose courage helped shape Canada’s story. Did you know? Over 50,000 Canadian women served in the Second World War. They worked as mechanics, nurses, drivers, and codebreakers. Many served near the front lines, caring for the wounded and supporting the troops. At 11 a.m., pause and remember. ❤️ #LestWeForget #CanadaRemembers #RemembranceDay #WomenInService #CanadianHistory #HonourAndRemember #CanadianWomen #WWIIHistory #HerStory #Gratitude #RememberThem

There are many factors that contribute to homelessness and often times more than one factor is being faced at once. With that, it's crucial that Street Haven's integrated services like Supportive Housing, Residential Addictions Services and the Pathways to Independence program are kept available for each woman's needed access during her journey. Street Haven believes that all women deserve, along with the physical necessities of life, to be treated with dignity and to be given the tools and opportunities to achieve their goals. This is achieved by catering to each and every woman to better understand her, provide her with the right supports and lay out the best next steps to create communities where all women are seen and safe. #creatingcommunity #endwomenshomelessness #integratedservicess #womensupportingwomen #supportsystem #listentohervoice
