Over 50 years ago, a group of women activists, including June Callwood, realized there were only 40 beds for homeless women in Toronto, compared to the 400+ available to men. Moved to action by this inequality, the women founded Nellie’s, a 16-bed shelter, in 1973.
Today, Nellie’s is a place of respite and rejuvenation for women and their children navigating a variety of challenges. Through community outreach, skill-building programs, and space for the unhoused to find shelter, clients are empowered to take steps to change their lives.
