About this service
Florence Booth House was founded in 2000 when the City of Toronto asked The Salvation Army to provide an interim (6-9 months) shelter for women experiencing homelessness. With over 100 years of experience providing compassionate care for people in need, The Salvation Army has long been one of the Citys most trusted partners. The idea was to find a temporary space until the need subsided and The Salvation Army was able to assist.
We owned a vacant church located on Queen Street just west of Bathurst and quickly re-purposed the building as a shelter for women with 64 beds.
What started as a temporary solution has become an integral part of the social safety net in Toronto serving approximately 400 women experiencing homelessness every year from ages 16 and up.
