Strengthening Care, Connection, and Belonging at Haven Toronto

Our Place Community of Hope, a drop-in program of St. Michael’s Homes, will be relocating to Haven Toronto’s 170 Jarvis Street location beginning Monday, May 25, 2026.

This move represents an important step in strengthening support for socially isolated and unhoused community members in Toronto. By bringing these two communities together under one roof, we are creating greater opportunities for connection, stability, and access to essential services—while remaining grounded in the shared values of dignity, compassion, inclusion, and care.

For Haven Toronto members, donors, partners, and stakeholders, we want to be clear: Haven’s programs, services, and supports for men aged 50 and older will continue as they always have. The elder, homeless men we serve will continue to have access to the same trusted drop-in environment, meals, programs, services, and supports that are central to Haven’s mission.

The Haven Drop-In Program will continue to operate seven days a week, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., exclusively for men aged 50 and older.

Our Place Community of Hope will operate Monday to Friday, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. During these hours, social recreation programming, dinner, and support services will be available and open to both Our Place participants and Haven members.

This transition reflects a shared commitment to building a more coordinated and responsive system of care—one that meets immediate needs while also fostering belonging, community, and hope.

We will also host a welcome pizza party on Friday, May 29, at 5:00 p.m. to bring Haven and Our Place members together. All Haven and Our Place members are warmly invited to attend.

We are grateful to our members, donors, partners, staff, and volunteers for their continued support as we take this next step in strengthening care for vulnerable people in our community.
