“ The Old Brewery Mission is fast becoming a national leader
    in ending homelessness. It’s a role model for emergency
shelters across the country who are following the Mission’s lead
  to shift from the provision of emergency services to solving
                 homelessness once and for all. ”

     Services tailored
     to women

 Our mandate is to provide the most vulnerable wom-
 en in our community with unconditional access
 to life changing services. Every day, we strive to
 find solutions that will help women reclaim their
 rightful place in the community. To do so, we com-
 bine the strengths of our team, our partners, and
 the women who take part in our services.

 When it comes to services tailored to women,
 there is a serious lack of funding; yet the need
 is urgent. Finding public funding is essential to
 diversify our sources of revenue as well as to de-
 velop and expand our services. It is also crucial
 that we establish more housing and health-care
 partnerships to be able to refer women to the
 appropriate resources.

 Research

 Our permanent Research Department
 supports knowledge building and sharing
 about homelessness. As the only research
 facility of its kind in Canada, it acts as an
 independent and powerful driver for social
 change. Research priorities are based on
 the Mission’s front-line experience with
 the goal of finding sustainable solutions
 to homelessness.

                  women’s homelessness.

                  is promising: new projects will be added to those currently
                  under way, and a Ph.D. study will be conducted on issues of
                  homelessness beginning in September 2020.
