The PTH Program is designed to address the critical lack of 24/7 intensive on-site high support housing for long-term users of the shelter system who have complex mental health and/or developmental disabilities as well as physical health challenges and addictions.
The PTH Program Model includes:
• 30 fully furnished bachelor apartments which are renovated and retrofitted for semi accessibility.
• A 24/7 on-site high support staffing model consisting of a program manager; assistant manager; mental health and developmental disabilities case managers; dual diagnosis worker; supportive independent living worker; engagement and support workers; cooks and personal support workers.
• Specialized supports such as an addictions and harm reduction counsellor, weekly on-site nurse practitioner, occupational therapist; behavioural therapist, chiropodist, psychologist etc. to provide the supports which the program clients require for improvement of their health, behaviour and quality of life.
• An On-Site Program Centre equipped with an industrial kitchen as well as dining; lounge and program staff work areas. Programming includes a 3 meal/day program, peer-support groups, education sessions, life skills and social-recreational activities.
• 24/7 security services to ensure client safety throughout the building
Madison Community Services does not directly accept referrals for this Program. The City of Toronto, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration (SSHA) makes the referrals for shelter clients who need a high level of supports directly to the Pathways to Home Program.

Client Testimonials
When I came to the Madison Pathways to Homes apartment, I felt like a human being again. It felt so good to have my own space after so long. My goal is to get my life back on track, and I feel like this program is helping me do that. We have access to cable and internet, staff on-site to talk to. This is the best I’ve felt in years.
