Mission Statement
Fife House's mission is to provide secure and affordable supportive housing and support services for persons and families living with HIV/AIDS (PHA), and work to achieve social change through research and advocacy that addresses systemic oppression. We believe that everyone living with HIV/AIDs has the right to quality, stable homes in a society free of stigma.
About This Cause
Founded in 1988, Fife House is an award-winning organization founded in response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic of the time, to provide safe housing and supports for individuals living with HIV/AIDS who found themselves homeless due to fear, stigma, misunderstanding and stereotypes. It opened its first residence in 1990 with capacity for housing 5 individuals. Since then, Fife House has grown and continuously evolved to meet the growing and ever changing needs of the community. Today, Fife House's supportive housing programs and services encompasses six residential programs across the city of Toronto which houses approximately 300 men, women and families living with HIV/AIDS, and which provides various vital support services - such as mental health programs, support for individuals with addictions/substance use challenges, advocacy and accompaniment, and more - for approximately 1,000 individuals annually.
