Adams House
In 2002, Adams House, a supportive housing complex located in downtown Toronto, opened its doors to help people living with a wide range of mental health problems realize a better life and future by providing a safe and clean alternative to life on the streets, shelters and rooming houses.
The home, which houses 27 tenants, is a joint venture between VHA and COTA Health.
