The Toronto Alliance to End Homelessness (TAEH) is a community-based collective impact initiative committed to ending homelessness in Toronto. We bring together agencies, organizations and individuals representing most of Toronto’s shelters, multi-service organizations, and supportive housing providers. Our Community Partners and Individual Supporters work with people who are marginalized by poverty; many of whom are currently homeless. We are driven by a collective mission to end chronic homelessness. Or, to put it another way, to make homelessness in our city rare, brief, and non-recurring. We are community based, focused on what we can achieve through our collective impact. We recognize the critical importance of working with all levels of government, particularly the City of Toronto, to achieve the goal of ending homelessness. We work to engage individuals and organizations that represent a broad segment of society and include people with lived experience of homelessness (PWLE), service delivery agencies, research and policy organizations, consumer driven organizations, businesses, associations and advocacy groups and community organizations. The TAEH also serves as the non-Indigenous Community Advisory Board on housing and homelessness for the City of Toronto. This means that we convene and coordinate the diverse range of homelessness service and housing providers in order to strategically inform City planning and policy on issues related to homelessness.
