PLEASE NOTE:    The Indigenous Supportive Housing Program is currently accepting new clients. Services are available to eligible Indigenous individuals and families with status who live in Toronto and require support accessing or maintaining housing.

The Indigenous Supportive Housing Program (ISHP) at Anishnawbe Health Toronto (AHT) provides essential housing support to Indigenous individuals and families who are disproportionately affected by the housing crisis in the Greater Toronto Area. The program supports low-income community members who are struggling with rising rental costs and other daily living expenses.

AHT’s housing team helps clients find and secure safe, stable housing while advocating with landlords to build positive relationships and support successful tenancies. The team also provides financial assistance for first and last month’s rent and helps clients explore available rent subsidy options.

For clients facing eviction or housing instability, the program includes assistance navigating the Landlord and Tenant Board process and referrals to appropriate eviction-prevention resources, such as the City of Toronto’s Eviction Prevention in the Community (EPIC) program, where eligible clients may receive assistance with rental arrears.

Through this work, AHT’s Indigenous Supportive Housing Program helps reduce the stress and uncertainty associated with housing instability, allowing clients to focus on their health, well-being and other important life priorities. AHT is proud of the positive impact the program continues to have and remains committed to helping Indigenous individuals and families access and maintain safe, stable housing.
