Homelessness & Solutions

On this page you'll find information and resources about the people experiencing homelessness in Canada and around the world. You'll also find organizations and initiatives to get involved with, and more.

Homelessness is a crisis in Canada. More than 235,000 people in Canada experience homelessness in a year - with anywhere from 25,000 to 35,000 people sleeping without a home on any given night.

Homelessness is not a crime - it is a symptom of larger societal issues. Those from marginalized groups (ex: BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, people living with disabilities), those living with mental illness, addiction, job insecurity, financial stress, or coming from an unsafe or unwelcoming home are at high risk of experiencing homelessness. To reduce this risk we need to work collectively to help normalize these experiences, make help openly available for illness and hardship, restructure affordable living, and structure our communities to help the disadvantaged.

How we are helping here at HOME?

- We donate 5% of all profits back to initiatives that are helping to end homelessness here in Canada - over $165000 to date!

- Our Hats for the Homeless campaign donates a warm toque to someone in need every time an MHA winter toque is purchased. To date we have donated over 1500 hats to those in need.

- We are committed to actively using our platform to increase awareness on these issues and help to inform our customers and followers how they can personally get involved.

Everyone deserves a safe place to call HOME.
