St. Michael's Homes is a Canadian registered charity (Business No. 107949893RR0001) providing addiction recovery and mental health services in Toronto, Ontario. Established to support individuals facing substance use disorders and mental health challenges, the organization operates residential treatment programs, supportive housing, psychotherapy, and community-based outreach services[2][5].

Overview

St. Michael's Homes focuses on aiding vulnerable populations, particularly men and male-identifying individuals, through its bed-based treatment and transitional housing programs[5]. Its services include pre-treatment support, recovery-oriented residential programs, aftercare, and mental health drop-in services[2][5]. The organization expanded its scope in April 2025 by integrating with Haven Toronto to extend services to homeless and marginally housed elderly men, while retaining its original programs and name[3].

Programs and Services

• Residential Treatment: Offers structured recovery programs for men, including those using medically assisted treatments such as methadone or suboxone[5].
• Supportive Housing: Maintains long-term residences for men aged 55+ to promote sustained sobriety and independent living[4][5].
• Mental Health Services: Includes a drop-in center named "Our Place Community of Hope," providing socialization activities, peer support, and psychotherapy for all genders[2][5].
• Aftercare and Pre-Treatment: Supports clients throughout their recovery journey, from initial assessments to post-treatment reintegration[2][5].

Partnership with Haven Toronto

In 2025, St. Michael's Homes merged operations with Haven Toronto to enhance service delivery for homeless and marginally housed older men, while continuing its existing addiction and mental health programs[3]. This integration allows shared administrative resources and expanded outreach capabilities[3].
