  • Street Haven & the Ontario Women’s Coalition will be at Queen’s Park tomorrow for National Housing Day. 
Women make up over 30% of the homeless population — yet only 13% of shelter beds are for women. The reality is devastating: in Toronto, the median age of death for homeless women is now 36 years old. 
These stories of violence, trauma, and unmet health needs are why we’re calling for safe, affordable, trauma-informed housing for women.

You can help:
💛 Support frontline organizations

📢 Advocate for gender-specific housing

✊ Push your elected officials for long-term solutions

Every woman deserves more than a bed for the night — she deserves safety, healing, and hope.

  • Meet Dayna Moreash, Director, Addictions, Mental Health, and Outreach Services.

This year’s theme for National Addictions Awareness Week is #anchoringhope and who better to bring to life what that means than Dayna, our Director of Addictions, Mental Health and Outreach Services.

“#AnchoringHope means being a steady presence for women when everything else feels uncertain. At Street Haven, we offer a safe place and a community where women can take their first steps toward healing and recovery.

Hope doesn’t always arrive loudly. Sometimes it’s a small step through our doors, a moment of courage. And when women take that step, we become the anchor they can hold on to.

It’s about creating a place of belonging — where women are seen, supported, and believed in. A place where recovery starts, and hope can grow.”

  • 💛 National Addictions Awareness Week 💛

This week, we’re sharing the story behind Grant House — and why it still matters today.

Grant House isn’t just a name. It’s named after Judith Grant, a young woman who was very dear to Street Haven.

Our founder Peggy Walpole said it best:

"Judith came to Toronto at 15, struggling with family trauma, addiction, and the streets. She fought to survive, to reclaim herself from drugs, crime, and life’s challenges. She showed incredible strength. Tragically, the scars she carried were too deep, and she took her own life in 1975."

Her story is heartbreaking, but it reminds us: addiction is messy, recovery is complicated, and hope doesn’t always stick the first time.

We named our addiction and recovery house Grant House because we understand the courage it takes to walk through those doors. Every woman who comes to us brings resilience and hope — just like Judith did.

At Grant House today, women find:
✨ Trauma-informed care
✨ Mental health & addiction support
✨ Life skills
✨ A community of women supporting women

Every day, staff and residents navigate the messy, unpredictable road of recovery — together.

This year’s National Addictions Awareness Week theme, Anchoring Hope, is exactly what Grant House represents: not a promise of perfection, but a commitment to show up, support, and honor every step of the journey.

#NationalAddictionsAwarenessWeek #AnchoringHope #StreetHaven #GrantHouse #RecoveryIsMessy #HopeLivesHere #WomenSupportingWomen
  • This week is National Addictions Awareness Week, and we’re opening the door at Grant House—Street Haven’s mental health and addictions program.

For many women, stepping through this door is an act of courage. Behind it is hope, stability, dignity, and a community of women supporting women. It’s strength and resilience in action.

All week, we’ll share stories from staff and residents about why they show up every day, and what keeps them going. This year’s theme, #Anchoring Hope, is exactly what happens behind this door.

How has addiction touched your life? Have you had a loved one or someone in your life that you have seen experience addiction?

  • 🌟 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.
