The INN St. Thomas-Elgin

About Us

The Inn St Thomas Elgin seeks to provide safe, temporary shelter to individuals 16 and over while supporting all basic human needs and reducing barriers to obtain housing.

We provide housing to men and women over the age of 16. We are a 40 bed facility with 15 emergency warming/cooling spaces that allow us to manage the space for individuals that may need more acute care or at high risk of other items. We provide 3 meals a day and nutrition snacks, we provide laundry facilities, showers, hygiene products, and clothing for those in need.

We have Housing Focused Case Managers that work with the clients to assist them in finding longer term housing solutions. Our Program Managers work with community partners to bring resources to The INN such as CMHA for mental health, Thames Valley Addictions Services, Housing Supports, Ontario Works, CCHC and a medical team that are on site weekly. These supports help us provide our clients ways to overcome issues that have contributed to being homeless and to give them hope of a better life.
