HOUSING CRISIS: VOLUNTEERS NEEDED NOW

In March Canada launched a temporary residence pathway to admit Ukrainians fleeing the war. There is no government-funded housing for Ukrainians arriving in Toronto. These new arrivals often have no choice but to stay in a homeless shelter.

We need your help in helping these vulnerable people, who have survived war. We need you to provide them shelter – temporary, short term, long term, whatever you can give will be appreciated.

Please consider sheltering Ukrainians in need of a place to stay. Please answer the questions in the survey below.
