Drop-in and Mobile Services

Corner Drop-In

For people struggling with homelessness and substance use, finding a warm, safe space is difficult. Our Corner Drop-in provides immediate life-saving services including nutritious meals, daytime shelter, crisis counselling, washrooms and showers. People can also access long-term services like harm reduction, primary and mental health care, and referrals for critical services.

Here to Help (H2H)

For vulnerable people in crisis, our Here to Help phone hotline offers immediate solutions for people in the downtown east. Our team de-escalates the situation by providing crisis intervention and conflict reduction. Follow-up is also available to ensure people have passed the period of crisis and are getting the help they need.

HIV/AIDS Prevention and Support

Creating awareness about HIV/AIDS is one of the biggest steps to prevent the spread. For people in our community, our HIV/AIDS Prevention and Support Program provides education about HIV and AIDS, sexual health, and methods of prevention.

Kensington Market Overdose Prevention Site (KMOPS)

The Kensington Market Overdose Prevention Site saves lives. Since opening in 2019, the Site has provided a safe space for people to use substances. Trained staff respond to overdoses, provide harm reduction education and supplies, and connect people to healthcare, counselling and other essential services.

Member Advocacy Committee (MAC)

Join the fight for social change! That's what the Member Advocacy Committee (MAC) does. Consisting of people with lived experience of poverty, homelessness and disability, MAC support each member’s participation in civic engagement and social justice. Members lead meetings, decide what events and activities the group will undertake, and conduct community workshops.

Mobile Shelter Support Program

Originally developed to provide harm reduction services to people isolating in COVID recovery hotels, the Mobile Shelter Support Program also offers case management, personal support, and follow-up services to people in shelters, encampments, and respite sites. Shelter staff and residents also learn how to respond to overdoses and other issues arising during the ongoing opioid crisis.

Partners for Access and Identification (PAID)

Without identification, accessing housing, health care, financial assistance, food banks, and employment are out of reach. Our Partners for Access and Identification (PAID) program helps people who are homeless apply for essential identification. With clinics across the city each day, PAID is easily accessible for people living on the street, in shelters, or in encampments.

Social and Support Groups

Through our social and recreational drop-in programs, community members come together to build meaningful connections, reduce social isolation and explore their own talents and strengths. Activities include outings to events and parks, art and music groups and our weekly Chill and Spill harm reduction discussion group.
