Leonard's

St. Leonard's Place Peel is a non-profit organization that provides support and housing for men who are in a transitional period of life, often coming from incarceration or living on the streets. Our goal is to help these individuals successfully reintegrate into society by offering them a safe and supportive environment. Since 1971, St. Leonard's Place Peel has been dedicated to helping men in transition, and we are proud of the accomplishments of our residents and the positive impact we have had on the community. We receive funding and support from Correctional Services Canada, Region of Peel, and the United Way. We have several well-equipped facilities, including the Joyce Waters Education Centre, the Rotary Resolve House, the Sir Robert Williams House, and the Richard & Joan Brown Home. In addition, we offer work and educational programs such as Licence 2 Clean and Licence 2 Cook, which provide the men with valuable skills and work experience. Our goals are aligned with the determinants of health, and we strive to foster a sense of belonging, enhance dignity and self-worth, ensure safety, equip individuals for effective community functioning, contribute to their physical, emotional, and spiritual nourishment, develop relationships based on trust and respect, and raise community awareness of our transitional community. Our mission is to provide a long-term residential facility that offers safety, belonging, dignity, nourishment, and education for homeless men with serious mental illness and those who have been in conflict with the law. Our vision is to create a community of peers and support where the homeless and ex-offenders in transition can reintegrate into society with respect and assistance from each other. We aim to be an integrated and collaborative community that helps individuals reach their full potential. In summary, St. Leonard's Place Peel is a shelter that provides support, housing, and programs for individuals struggling with homelessness, addiction, and legal issues. We are committed to helping these individuals successfully transition back into society and reach their full potential.
