Alternative Shelter In and Out of The Crisis (IOTC) program at Camp Samac Referral Everyday 9AM-6:30PMWe are one of two hubs (other is Ajax Community Centre) that provides the first-step referral to this shelter program. This program has limited capacity and clients will be accepted based on available space. Speak with staff to learn more.
|
ReferralsWe provide connections to social services, health care, and other agencies where more specialized needs can be met. Many folks on the street are lost finding help. Accessing services often means navigating a bureaucratic maze and meeting multiple preconditions.

Community DevelopmentWe sit on the Durham Advisory Committee on Homelessness and other local bodies, and work with other community groups to advocate for social justice and poverty reduction.
