overall - this is a great place to stay at for those 16-24. It has all the services you need (dental, medical, mental health) and it provides a safe environment for those in need. The staff for the most part are very nice, but because it is a big facility; you have many different personalities and you may have a hard time in dealing with certain individuals just like any other place you go to. I was an angry kid but this place helped me alot and were very patient with me.

Your experience here will depend on a lot of factors such as who you are and the types of people you come accross. It's a homeless shelter for youth so not everything is sunshine and roses. The building is very large and feels more like a school or library. The food given to the residents is very good and always varies. There is lots of things offered to homeless youth if you just ask. For more info visit the covenant house website.
I was lucky enough to get paired with a really good worker who knows how to do his job. One time I was discharged because of something my roommate did, and my worker actually got mad and complained to his higher ups. That was a traumatic time for me and it shouldn't have happened but at least someone cared. There really are people working here who care and want to help the less fortunate. Not all of their workers are perfect but most of them are really caring and competent at their jobs, and with the large amount of staff there is always at least 1 good worker on each floor for each shift. They prioritize safety and cleanliness, and they have a health clinic in the building. They also have emergency beds for human trafficking victims and people escaping domestic abuse. Probably the best emergency shelter in Toronto, every time life screwed me over they were there to help.
Keep Arshee safe and happy. I'll make a donation soon.
Best shelter in the city as long as your ok with all the staff having a say on your path to well being.
