A large component of the Welcoming Streets mission is working collaboratively with multiple service providers to offer support to individuals experiencing homelessness or facing mental health and addiction challenges. Our program aims to act as a liaison in making client referrals to the appropriate service, as well as connecting across the various Kingston agencies to strengthen cross-sector communication and foster a collaborative approach to client support.  

Below you will find a list of agencies, programs, and resources in Kingston along with links to the respective website pages to learn more. 

Should you require assistance regarding an individual experiencing a mental health or addiction crisis in the downtown core, call Welcoming Streets at 613-583-5008, 7 days a week 9am-5pm.
