End the Chronic Problem of Sleeping Out on the
Street

• Haven Toronto is a place for men experiencing all
  the above mentioned problems who seek alternative
  to drug abuse. Haven provides them a safe
  sanctuary that allows them to relax and re-adjust
  while receiving the help they need. It is also a
  place where they can come and talk to other men
  who are undergoing the same issues. There are
  several activities that these men can choose
  from, each of which offers them an opportunity to
  experience the real world outside their
  chemically enhanced state. If you are one such
  person who can benefit from Haven, here are some
  of the services you can avail

Meals

• The Haven program serves a wide range of clients.
  Through its nutritious meals, clients are
  provided with a delicious meal which is healthy
  on its own, as well as a nutritious meal that
  they can consume to gain back their energy and
  keep them healthy. These meals are available
  everyday, from Mondays through Fridays. Haven
  also arranges for meetings between Haven
  participants and community members to discuss
  current events and how they can affect the lives
  of other people. Through these meetings, Haven
  helps clients understand their problems better
  and find solutions that work.

Shelters

• Those in need of respite from the vagaries of the
  outside world can avail of Haven's on-site
  shelters where they can stay for a minimum of 365
  days. These shelters provide for both men and
  women with varying needs. In one bedroom units,
  clients can sleep three to four individuals in
  one building, clients can sleep up to ten people
  and in one facility, clients can even stay for
  365 days! The shelter providers cater to all
  kinds of individuals with varying needs. There
  are so many things for clients to enjoy during
  their stay at Haven including access to fitness
  rooms, daycare services, swimming pools, child
  care centers, and more.

On-site Nurses

• The Haven program caters to those seeking
  admission into its sanctuary, the Haven Toronto.
  Here, nurses give individualized attention to
  clients with varying needs. From hair treatments
  to nutrition consultations to medical procedures,
  a nurse will work with each client to ensure that
  he or she is given the best possible care. In
  addition, every client is assigned a full-time
  nurse who comes to the sanctuary to help in any
  way she can. This ensures that each client gets
  personalized attention and a safe, warm, and
  welcoming experience at the Haven sanctuary.

Drop-In Centres

• One thing that can make or break a homeless
  shelter is the quality of the staff working
  there. That is why the Haven Toronto hired a
  skilled team of volunteers to work around the
  clock. These volunteers are tasked with several
  key tasks including cleaning, stocking, and
  organizing the bathrooms, laundry room, and
  dining area. In addition, they also conduct
  walk-ins, assist clients with finding their way
  around the grounds, and provide directions to
  nearby attractions in the downtown area. The
  volunteer force is made up of dedicated
  individuals who are not only committed to serving
  clients at the sanctuary but also take great
  pride in their work. In this way, the Haven can
  claim to have the most highly qualified and
  compassionate team of janitors in all of Canada.

• The Haven is an innovative solution to ending the
  chronic problem of sleeping outdoors on the
  streets. Many seniors in Toronto have suffered
  for years without having a safe place to sleep,
  eat, or do simple activities like go to the
  bathroom or to visit a family member. For these
  people, even simple tasks like going to the
  library, getting dressed, or using the washroom
  may prove to be nightmarish experiences. However,
  for the hundreds of seniors who live in frail and
  precarious accommodations, the Haven offers them
  a safe and warm retreat where they can feel safe,
  appreciated, and cared for.
