Programs & Services

Sistering’s programs and services support homeless, low-income and marginalized women to improve their daily lives and gain greater control over their life circumstances. Our programs and services meet women’s basic needs and offer access to a wide variety of supports that allow women to stabilize their situations and make choices to achieve safety, structure and quality of life.     

Coming through Sistering’s Drop In doors in the morning means entering a safe, welcoming space and receiving a hot breakfast after a long night on the streets or in a shelter. Provision of lunch without cost or question, seven days a week, helps women to bridge the gap between inadequate monthly income and Toronto’s high rents and stay housed. Clothing and household donation programs assist women to dress and live with dignity. Case support and housing workers open access to a wide range of services including assistance with their search for housing. Our employment and income support programs offer women the opportunity to supplement their incomes, enhance earning and employment opportunities, and build a sense of accomplishment.
