St. Felix Centre is set to open Hope House, a supportive housing initiative for women experiencing homelessness in Toronto, by May 2025. Funded by all levels of government at a cost of $20 million, the 31-unit building will offer rent-geared-to-income housing and 24/7 support services, such as educational assistance and psychiatric care. This initiative aims to address the growing issue of homelessness in Toronto, especially among women, as nearly 40% of those in shelters are female. The project emphasizes hope and transformation for families affected by homelessness.
It's going to give them the hope that they need. It's going to give them the support that they need and the family, maybe, they never really had.
According to the Women's National Housing and Homelessness Network, intimate partner or family violence is one of the main drivers of homelessness among women and girls.
