Happy Thanksgiving from Neighbours!
This Thanksgiving, we are grateful for the support, partnerships and community that help make our work possible.
Everyone deserves a safe place to call home. On #WorldHomelessDay, we reflect on the importance of housing and the role communities can play in creating pathways to stability, connection and belonging.

On #WorldHomelessDay, we recognize the experiences of people without a safe and stable place to call home. Toronto’s 2025 Point-in-Time Count estimated that 12,196 people were experiencing homelessness on October 22, 2025. Safe, affordable housing is a foundation for well-being.
This #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek, let’s keep the conversation going and work toward communities where people feel supported.
Mental health and housing are closely connected. In Toronto’s latest Street Needs Assessment, 44% of people experiencing homelessness identified mental health issues as a health challenge. #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek
Today is #NationalSeniorsDay, a time to recognize the contributions and experiences of seniors in our communities. 27% of Neighbours tenants are 65 or older. Safe, stable housing matters at every stage of life.
Today is #OrangeShirtDay and the #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation. We remember the children who never returned home, honour Survivors and their families, and recognize the lasting harms of colonialism, including its impact on access to safe, affordable housing.
34 tenants who are deaf or hard of hearing call Neighbours home. This #InternationalWeekOfDeafPeople, we recognize the Deaf community and the importance of communication, accessibility and inclusion. Because being part of a community means being able to participate and belong.
Communication is a human right. Today, we recognize the role of sign languages in helping people communicate, participate and build connections. Inclusive communities make space for different ways of communicating. #InternationalDayOfSignLanguages #IDSL2026
Every day, we work alongside tenants to build relationships and create communities where people can feel supported and connected. Let’s bring that same care to people around us. A reminder that someone is not alone makes a difference.
#SuicideAwarenessMonth #StartTheConversation
Today is International Overdose Awareness Day. In Toronto, acute drug toxicity was the leading cause of death among people experiencing homelessness in 2024, making up 55% of reported deaths. Safe housing, connection and support can be part of the path to healing. #EndOverdose
Another great summer gathering with our Neighbours community! Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to our staff for making it possible. It was a wonderful afternoon of connection, community and summer fun. Thank you for being part of Neighbours!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Summer Gathering yesterday! It was wonderful to see our Neighbours community come together, enjoy the sunshine, share some laughs, and spend time with one another. We are grateful to everyone who helped make the day so special.
Happy #CanadaDay! As we mark July 1, we celebrate the people and communities that make Canada a welcoming place to call home. We also recognize that too many people still don’t have a place to call home. Together, we can build a future where everyone has safe and secure housing.
Happy Multiculturalism Day! Diversity is not just something we recognize at Neighbours, it is something we live every day. We are grateful for the many cultures and perspectives that shape our work and our community.
On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we celebrate Indigenous peoples and their contributions. We also recognize the ongoing impacts of colonialism, including trauma, displacement, and housing inequalities, and the importance of continuing the work of reconciliation.
