Short Term Residential Crisis Support Beds

The Short Term Residential Crisis Support Beds (Safe Beds) Program is a crisis response initiative in which SHIP combines temporary safe housing with specialized support services.  

Safe Beds is specifically designed to respond to the needs of individuals dealing with mental illness who are in crisis and have the potential to, or are already involved in the criminal justice system.

Through the operation of a best practice recovery-based program, Safe Beds meets the needs of clients in crisis:

• Nutritious meals and a private environment are utilized to contribute to crisis resolution 
• Immediate support systems are increased
• Supportive counselling is individualized to assist clients in learning appropriate problem-solving skills in relation to their current crisis
• Service is provided 24/7

This SHIP initiative is staffed by a multidisciplinary team with combined experience in the areas of mental health, criminal justice, and addictions/dual diagnosis.

Supportive Housing

A newly-created increased response initiative, Supportive Housing is specifically tasked to meet the needs of individuals dealing with mental illness who have had direct/current involvement with the criminal justice system.

As part of a larger, co-ordinated system of services, this rent supplement program offers long term housing units and a highly specialized level of support in Peel Region and West Toronto.

The goal of Supportive Housing is to maximize the potential for a future without the intervention of the criminal justice and corrections systems.
