HOUSING, SUPPORT, AND CULTURE FOR ABORIGINAL MEN IN TORONTO
Na-Me-Res is a safe space for Aboriginal men to learn new skills and live healthy lives on or off the streets.
Helping Aboriginal men in Toronto lead healthy, self-determined lives.
In 1985, Na-Me-Res began offering emergency shelter to Toronto-based Aboriginal men who were without a place to live. The 26-bed shelter grew quickly to accommodate the growing needs of the community and as a greater understanding of the underlying reasons for Aboriginal homelessness emerged, Na-Me-Res implemented support programs to address those causes.
Today, the Na-Me-Res Housing initiatives include:
- A 69-bed emergency shelter at Bathurst St. and St. Clair Ave. West
- Sagatay, a nationally-recognized transitional housing program
- O’Gitchidaa Mushkiki Wigwam, a long-term independent housing initiative
Our Programming has also evolved to include:
- Cultural connection and identity such as a sweat lodge, hand drumming, and traditional teachings
- A Medicine Wheel Garden at Hillcrest Park
- Elder outreach for street homeless men to connect with their culture
- Life skills workshops on healthy living, literacy, financial literacy, and employment
- Integration assistance for men leaving the criminal justice system
- Addiction and mental health support and counselling
- Workshops on creative writing, photography, and reiki
- A support community for Aboriginal men in the Toronto area
The Na-Me-Res team meets the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional needs of our clients wherever they are on their journey. We are traditional Elders & teachers, case managers, counsellors, client care and support workers, street outreach workers, housing support and aftercare workers, Registered Nurses, Oshkabaywis (spiritual helpers), and a life skills coordinator. Na-Me-Res also partners with psychiatrists, doctors, and many other community service providers.
