About Us

At St. Leonard’s Place Peel (SLPP) we understand that situations of mental illness, addiction, or conflict with the law can be difficult to overcome. We also acknowledge that, with the right supports and a strong personal commitment to change, a brighter future is possible.

For more than 45 years, St. Leonard’s Place Peel has offered a space of healing and reintegration for men 18 years and older. Our supportive housing program and wraparound supports provide men dedicated to their recovery journey with an opportunity of a fresh start.

SLPP’s model of care is strengths-based and person-centered. Every client is engaged as a partner in a plan of care that is customized to the needs of the individual seeking support. Each client is supported by a multidisciplinary team of staff with expertise across a broad range of professional backgrounds - including social work, nursing, personal support work, nutrition counselling, psychiatry, criminal justice, and recreational therapy.

Residential ProgramsSt. Leonard’s Place Peel offers three streams of supportive housing programs. They are:

New Leaf ProgramProvides housing and wraparound supports to adult men in the community overcoming situations of homelessness due to acute mental illness and/or substance abuse. Clients are required to demonstrate reasonable level of stabilization in their recovery journey as well as a readiness to live a substance-free lifestyle. Service provider and self-referral accepted.

Reintegration / Community Residential Facility Program Offers case management and correctional planning in a supportive living environment for men transitioning from a federal correctional facility. Applicants must show a commitment to living a pro-social and law-abiding lifestyle. Applications are referred through Correctional Services Canada (CSC) or self-referral while in a CSC facility.

Graduate Program (Formerly known as SLPP Domicile)

Clients 50 years and older who have successfully transitioned from either the New Leaf or the Reintegration Program may apply for residency as a ‘Graduate.’ This program builds the capacity of men advanced in age to eventually live independently with confidence in the broader community. Applications by internal SLPP referral only.
