Housing & Shelter Assistance

At Sahan Community Network, we help individuals and families experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity access emergency shelters, transitional housing, and long-term support.

1. Applying for City of Toronto emergency shelters
   We guide you through the process and help gather the documents you need.

2. Completing housing applications
   Including Toronto Community Housing, Rent-Geared-to-Income (RGI) housing, and other subsidized housing programs.

3. Follow-up and advocacy
   We help you track your application status and connect with housing caseworkers when needed.

4. Referrals to transitional and supportive housing
   For those who need more than just shelter, we connect you to programs that include mental health support, addiction recovery, or family reintegration.

5. Temporary shelter for newcomers and refugee claimants
   We assist newcomers in navigating shelter options tailored to immigration and settlement needs.
