There are people in Clarington who are living without stable, permanent, appropriate housing. The Regional Municipality of Durham is responsible for all social services in all Durham municipalities, including Clarington. This includes safe, temporary shelter and supports for residents with no safe accommodation options.
Warming Centres provide a safe place for people to sleep when it is cold outside. The Region of Durham operates a Winter Warming Centre in Bowmanville in addition to others across Durham.
If you need support or shelter, please contact Durham Region at HomelessHelp@Durham.ca or call 905-666-6239 ext. 5510. The Outreach Team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
