About Our Charity

Sojourn House is the largest refugee shelter in Toronto dedicated to providing housing and support services to recently arrived refugee claimants.

In May 2006 Sojourn House opened it's new building which hosts the shelter, services and 52 units units of supportive transitional housing for refugees experiencing settlement difficulties.

Since 1987, thousands of refugee claimants from more than 75 countries have made Sojourn House their first “home” in Canada.

With professional staff and volunteers on duty 24 hours a day Sojourn House responds to refugee needs by providing supportive counselling, assistance in the resettlement process and help in navigating the complex government process to acquire landed immigrant status and eventually Canadian citizenship.

Your gift will help us to continue to provide appropriate supports which have helped newcomer refugees successfully transition into the Canadian society. 

Thank you for helping give refugees hope for the future in a new community!
