If you’re homeless or at risk of being homeless, call
Street Helpline Peel at:

1-877-848-8481

CMHA/Peel Branch provides Outreach services through the Region of Peel Outreach Program which operates as Street Helpline Peel. It’s for people who are homeless, or at risk of being homeless. Anyone needing their services, or seeing someone who does, can call 1-877-848-8481.

This service aims to achieve the following outcomes:

• Clients (individuals who are homeless or at risk of being homeless) get support, where they are, with issues they identify are important to them
   
• Clients (requiring a “street” help service) have one number to call and are directed to appropriate resources – other supports, other programs – as required
   
• Clients become more stable and are better able to take care of themselves

To help people who can't otherwise help themselves, the Region of Peel provides public health nurses and staff from Ontario Works, who work in collaboration with three agencies:

• Canadian Mental Health Association/Peel Branch (CMHA/Peel)
• Peel Addiction Assessment and Referral Centre (PAARC)
• St. Leonard’s House

Outreach team workers are trained and caring professionals who help with health care, food, clothing, blankets, mental health and addiction supports and "street counselling" (assessment and referral). They also advocate for housing, emergency shelter, medical care, employment and mental health and substance use supports. They'll come to you, where ever you are. You’ll recognize the Outreach staff in the community when you see the Peel Cares van.
