Eva’s Place first opened its doors in 1994 and in 10 short years we expanded from one to three shelters – with the addition of Eva’s Satellite and Eva’s Phoenix – each offering an innovative combination of programs and services for homeless and at-risk youth.
Since our first day of operation, Eva’s Initiatives has helped over 19,000 youth from the Greater Toronto Area and across Canada. Every year, approximately 2300 youth receive help with such diverse issues as substance abuse, finding a job, finishing school, learning life skills, receiving career training, sex education, exploring recreational opportunities and family re-connection.
Inspired by the legacy of Eva Smith, Eva’s Initiatives strives to keep her vision alive by providing a supportive, diverse and safe environment for the youth we serve.
