What We Believe

The TAEH collective is united in our vision that homelessness in Toronto be

rare, brief and non-recurring.

  • Homelessness is the result of a combination of poverty, a lack of affordable housing and personal circumstances. It’s cost in human lives, potential and suffering is not an acceptable situation for any just or compassionate society.

  • Toronto, Ontario and Canada have the resources to end homelessness but lack a common agenda, sufficient coordination of services and adequate targeting of resources to effective solutions.

  • The City of Toronto has embedded this vision in their Housing For All Charter and in the Housing TO 2020-2030 Action Plan. We must all now work together to set appropriate targets and focus on initiatives that are person- centered and evidence based.

  • Inclusion of the experience and views of people with lived experience of homelessness must be an essential part of the work to end homelessness.

The Toronto Alliance to End Homelessness (TAEH) is a community-based collective impact initiative committed to ending homelessness in Toronto.
