The Busby Centre is a housing-focused organization serving individuals and families across Barrie and South Georgian Bay who are experiencing, or are at risk of, houselessness and food insecurity. Since 1993, we have operated with the belief that everybody is somebody and that housing is a right for everyone.

Guided by Housing First principles, we provide low-barrier, trauma-informed support through our integrated services: Day Drop-in, Overnight Emergency Shelter, Street Outreach, and our Supportive Housing Program. We work to create the shortest path from homelessness to housing and reduce the impact of poverty, homelessness, insufficient employment, addiction, and mental health challenges in our community.

This year, we are launching our Double the Difference campaign, presented by Bertram Construction. From December 2 to January 12, Bertram Construction will match donations up to $100,000, doubling your impact and helping us reach our $250,000 year-end goal.

Your support ensures we can continue providing warm meals, safe shelter, outreach supports, and housing-focused care for over 150 individuals every day.
