With financial support provided by the City of Toronto, the shelter commenced ful-time, year-round operations in 2000 and is now a multi-service agency providing emergency shelter and programming support services for the most vulnerable, marginalized and at-risk members of our community today.

Based on the urgent and continued need for affordable, supportive and transitional housing, St. Simon’s Shelter has secured a building in our catchment area, for the purpose of providing supportive and transitional housing for 29 chronically homeless senior-aged shelter users.

As such, St. Simon’s Shelter is undertaking a capital campaign to raise the funds necessary to assist with the acquisition and projected building renovation costs. All units within the building will be rent-geared-to-income, and daily operating costs will be funded by the City of Toronto.

We invited and welcome any form of support from our community at large to assist St. Simon’s Shelter with our goal of ‘providing a supportive housing platform and the tools necessary to achieve healthy independent living for those members of our community who contend with being chronically homeless through no fault of their own’.
