Host a refugee

More than 2,500 refugees will spend tonight in one of Toronto’s crowded city shelters. If you have a spare bedroom, you can play an active role in bringing refugees out of the shelter system, and in to the greater community.

Your commitment as a Host

You’ll provide safe, temporary housing and friendship for a Refugee Guest, for a period of 3-6 months. Refugee Guests are Matthew House residents who have lived in one of our homes, who are ready to move out on their own while they work on finding employment and housing of their own.

Interested in becoming a community host? We would love to connect with you. Please contact us, and a member of the Matthew House team will be in touch with you to answer your questions and explain the application process.
