Founded in 1965, Street Haven at the Crossroads supports women who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness. Street Haven is a multi-service agency that provides emergency shelter, supportive housing, and other forms of community support. In fiscal 2024 (year ended March), Street Haven spent $4.6m on its programs. The charity does not provide a spending breakdown of its programs.

Street Haven’s 50-bed emergency shelter provides women experiencing homelessness a place to stay, meals, clothing, counseling, and medical care. In F2024, Street Haven provided 24,926 days of emergency shelter.

The charity’s Supportive Housing program provides accommodation for 32 women who are recovering from trauma, mental health challenges, or substance abuse. In F2024, Street Haven provided 2,576 days of supportive housing to 35 unique clients.

Community support includes the charity’s addiction program, education and employment services, and youth workshops.

The charity also reported that the Residential Addictions Treatment program lowered its wait times by five months (70% decrease).  The charity also provided 179 training service workshops to 139 unique clients.

Street Haven’s financial statements follow line-item costing, meaning it does not clearly report which expenses relate to program, administrative, and fundraising activities. This is not a best practice. The charity’s T3010 filings with the CRA do not disclose total spending on administrative and fundraising costs. Ci took the best estimate of these costs based on the financial statements; however, the main line item, salaries and benefits, has been fully allocated to program costs, thus overhead costs are likely understated.

In F2024, Street Haven received $1.2m in donations, up 74% from the $699k received in F2023. In F2024, the charity also received $4.6m in government funding, which represents 74% of total revenues. Administrative costs are 9% of total revenues (less investment income) and fundraising costs are 3% of total donations. For every dollar raised, 88 cents are available to go towards the cause. This is within Ci’s reasonable range for overhead spending.

In F2024, Street Haven spent $4.6m on its programs which represents 74% of total revenues. Street Haven has $6.9m in its reserve funds. These funds can cover one year and six months of annual program costs.
