Housing emergency support

If you are unable to find temporary housing, stay with family or friends, or if you have any other issues that make it hard to find appropriate housing (short or long-term), we can help. A housing emergency may be due to:

• conflict at home
• relationship break-up
• unsafe or unlivable housing conditions
• house fire, flood or other calamity
• financial difficulty
• eviction
• short-term homelessness
• other issues

We will work with you and other U of T staff, as appropriate, to help you find housing and continue with your studies.
