Eden Community Homes
Welcome to our website!
We are a non-profit, charitable organization providing affordable supportive housing at two locations in central Toronto for individuals living with serious mental illness. Our goal is to help our residents deal with their challenges and improve their quality of life.
We greatly appreciate your interest in Eden Community Homes and hope that you find the information on this website useful. Please contact us if you have questions about our housing or support program.
Who We Are
Eden Community Homes has offered support, counselling and life skills development to individuals with long-term mental health problems since 1983, when it opened its first house for five men and five women. We seek to provide safe and affordable permanent housing to support residents in achieving their individualized goals.
Our values are based on the importance of preserving an individual's privacy, dignity and autonomy. This is reflected in the way we provide housing. For example, each resident has his or her own bedroom with a lock on the door to ensure a sense of safety and privacy. The philosophy that guides us is to emphasize "wellness over illness," "strengths over deficits" and "here and now over the past," and to work in partnership with the people we serve.
Eden Community Homes is funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and is a registered charity. We have a volunteer board of directors who have expertise in diverse areas and many have provided years of dedicated service.
Eden Community Homes is under the distinguished patronage of Mrs. Joan VanDuzer.
Our homes are operated subject to the requirements of the Tenant Protection Act.
Eden Community Homes is committed to providing a safe environment of acceptance, hope and encouragement. We base our program on psychosocial principles.
