An up-to-date list of 24-hour respites is posted on the City of Toronto's website here.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, clients seeking shelter can call the Central Intake Line at 416-338-4766, 1-877-338-3398 toll-free or 311 to be referred to available shelter and respites spaces. Temporary shelter and respite sites may not have space to accommodate walk-in referrals. Calling Central Intake in advance is recommended to minimize unnecessary travel in keeping with physical distancing guidelines provided by Toronto Public Health.
