Willowdale Welcome Centre

As stated by others: there is a rise in homeless harassing residents, setting fires, and increased crime since this center was created.This welcome center and the elected party behind it failed everyone (homeless and the community) horribly and is continuing to fail.

It is a welcoming place which harbours generosity workers who are well oriented on what they do. Thank you willowdale welcome center.

Hi, everyone! I have no words for these people who stay here including staff.I am in a very bad situation. My bad is close two doors.I complained for the loud noise the doors make...now I am not able to do anything because of the high intensity of noise(if it's called like that!) The staff doesn't know when there is a complain they have to address it to the manager or supervisor. I do everything on my own here. It's been 2 years in the shelter. 2 months ago I was told they register me for the housing and they didn't. It looks like homes first is everywhere in Toronto? Places where numerous people live. If there is more than a shelter is a big problem...unless someone makes these people happy here....I am not happy in shelter....

This place is kinda cool . It has a lot of new ppl un there . Alot of new faces always..

Free injection needles and safe place to smoke crack, kudos to taxpayers

Severe discrimination, harassment , criminal negligence, treatment akin to terror crimes and torture methods.Operation run by psychopaths.Very few staff members actually care about the wellbeing of others.

Close it up! The neighbourhood from yonge finch down to Sheppard is riddled with homeless ruining the area.

There is no human rights here for normal people who are not addicted and no privacy at all and people are scary they talk to the walls i couldn't sleep for days here because of people and don't have another choice , the food here are olso expired especially the one that is packed like yogurt, its heaven for people thet don't care or people who have mental problem or addicted however any one that is sober will find their human basic right taken away from them , they treet dogs better here, if you are not suicidal you will be one in short time if you come here.Edit:Yesterday 21.oct I went to north York Young street and saw this building, and I immediately started crying. I remembered how hard it was for me and other people as well. the terror I had been through wasn't real,and I will never wish someone to go through this even the staff was humiliated by other clients. I still remember and keep living in this memory, I will write about this place for sure and what I saw and experienced .

Ever since the place came to an existence, I have noticed a rise in homeless people with tents settling in parking lots and parks near Yonge and Finch.There was a fire near my parents home where a homeless person had settled.Now, you see police vehicles and paramedics entering in and out constantly. I see homeless people smoking crack, talking to themselves, and causing threats to the locals living near the centre.The welcome centre is failing to keep the community clean and safe.
