About Us
Welcome to Dixon Hall
Dixon Hall began as a soup kitchen in 1929, and since then has been steadily increasing and strengthening a diverse range of integrated services for residents of Downtown East Toronto.
Dixon Hall is a multi-service, charitable organization committed to empowering the lives of the most vulnerable, marginalized and at-risk communities. Through our comprehensive programs in supportive and deeply affordable housing, shelter, employment, settlement, youth, and seniors’ services, we help individuals overcome barriers to stability and well-being. By addressing critical social challenges and fostering connections, we create lasting community impact, building a more inclusive and resilient city for all.
Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that Dixon Hall’s programs and offices sit on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples, and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.
We also acknowledge that Tkaronto, now known as Toronto, is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.
Ancestral Acknowledgement
We all share our connection to the treaties that shape our nation, whether we arrived as settlers, immigrants, or newcomers in this current generation or in generations long past.
It’s important to recognize that some among us have ancestral roots tied to the involuntary migration of the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade. Therefore, we also extend our respect and recognition to the ancestors of African Origin and Descent, honouring their enduring legacy.

Mission, Vision, Values
Multi-Sector Services Accountability Agreement
The Local Health System Integration Act, 2006 requires that the LHIN and the HSP enter into a service accountability agreement (“SM”). The SM enables the LHIN to provide funding to the HSP for the provision of services.
It supports a collaborative relationship between the LHIN and the HSP to improve the health of Ontarians through better access to high-quality health services, to coordinate health care in local health systems and to manage the health system at the local level effectively and efficiently.
