About The Program
CMHA Toronto’s Housing Program connects individuals living with mental illness to permanent and affordable housing, enabling them to live independently and improve the quality of their lives.
Support is provided to help individuals maintain their housing and access community resources to assist them in their recovery process. Our housing outreach workers also act as a liaison between the landlords and our tenants/clients by providing information on their respective rights and responsibilities.
CMHA Toronto is part of the Toronto Mental Health and Addictions Supportive Housing Network, a network of 29 housing providers.
