St. Clare’s

St. Clare’s is a social justice landlord acting in solidarity with people who have experienced homelessness. Our engaged staff innovatively support their efforts to achieve stability by improving and expanding access to healthy, secure, safe, affordable and diverse housing communities and long term successful tenancies.

Aligned with the understanding that healthy communities and healthy tenancies reinforce one another, our tenants, staff and partners engage together in St. Clare’s “Community First” model. Together, we work in partnership to reduce homelessness in ways that are scalable, replicable and enduring.

St. Clare’s is a charitable organization that provides affordable mixed-income housing in downtown Toronto. Our tenants represent a cross-section of Toronto’s diversity. Most tenants pay a rent-geared-to-their-income, while others pay the market rent for their apartments.

St. Clare’s has developed a model that provides practical solutions to real problems. Click below to learn more about what our solutions are:

St. Clare’s Ossington Infill Project is building 25 micro-units of housing next to our 1120 Ossington Avenue building (near Dupont Street). These tiny homes will bring 25 people off the streets into safe, secure and affordable housing. The project will more than double the 20-unit community St. Clare’s has facilitated for the last 10 years.

Every donation to Gear Up For Housing helps St. Clare’s end homelessness for 25 people through the Ossington project.
