If you are homeless or at-risk of homelessness, our self-serve tool will help you to find an emergency shelter
Access to Emergency Shelter
Residents of Peel (Brampton, Caledon, Mississauga) who are in need of emergency shelter can now use an online self-serve tool to find a shelter and support services.
The self-serve tool, available for mobile devices and computers, helps people in crisis quickly get the support they need. It also helps us to deliver our services more efficiently and effectively.
We encourage agencies in Peel to ‘bookmark’ the tool for easy access.

We ensure that anyone in crisis needing emergency shelter gets the help they need. Services include eviction prevention initiatives, emergency shelters and transitional housing, street outreach, support services and help to find permanent housing.
