Toronto Shelter Network Information

The Toronto Shelter Network is an umbrella organization that champions the best housing outcomes for people experiencing homelessness. We believe that housing is a human right and envision a city where everyone has a home that enables them to live with dignity. The member of TSN are comprised of a diverse group of agencies that deliver 24 hour emergency homelessness services in Toronto including shelters, respite centres, 24 hour drop ins and COVID hotel programs across the City of Toronto. The TSN has a dual mandate: we provide strong support to member agencies so that they can deliver the highest quality services we we develop, present and advocate for solutions that will support the significant shifts needed to end chronic homeless. The TSN mandate is to enhance the collective capacity and voice of people with lived experience of homelessness and diverse homelessness service providers in Toronto through knowledge sharing and learning, collaborative planning, research and advocacy.
