Today we honour and celebrate all transgender people during Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ . We are lucky to be in the company of so many amazing trans folks who inspire us and make our community so much brighter. Together, we are building towards a future where all trans people will be able to express themselves freely without prejudice.

We are pleased to announce that Casey House’s inpatient unit officially resumes operations April 6 following repairs caused by a small fire at the end of December. As we begin to welcome back some admitted clients who were displaced at that time and reaching out to those who were on the pre-existing waitlist.

With that, we are now accepting new referrals to our inpatient waitlist using the Ocean form found at CaseyHouse.ca. Please note, accepted referrals will be added to our waitlist which is sorted by clinical acuity and prioritizes end-of-life care - admissions may not be arranged based on the order of referral submission.

Visit Caseyhouse.ca or find us on the Ocean network to refer.

Casey House is deeply saddened to hear that the AIDS Committee of Toronto ( ) will be closing operations March 26, 2026. After 42 years of dedicated support for people living with HIV/AIDS, ACT will remain a testament to what grassroots community care can be. As groundbreaking pioneers during the 1980s AIDS epidemic, their work will not be forgotten. They provided hope during a dark time of Toronto’s history.

Years before Casey House opened in 1988, the first meetings were at ACT. In fact, the hospice steering committee, which became the organizing group that established Casey House was born with ACT's approval in September, 1985.

HIV is still present. ACT’s absence will leave a crater in our hearts and community, as AIDS service organizations across the city respond to evolving needs for people living with and at risk of HIV. Nevertheless, we hope to continue the mission to serve with inspiration from ACT’s zeal and resolve.

With boundless gratitude, Casey House thanks the AIDS Committee of Toronto and its entire team of staff and volunteers for 42 incredible years

Our statement regarding the Consumption & Treatment Services (CTS) and Supervised Consumption Sites (SCS) closures across Ontario:

At Casey House, we are concerned about the erosion of rights, services, and safety for people who are unhoused, use substances, and in need of mental health support.

We strive to dismantle the de-humanizing narratives about substance use, particularly with those who are street-involved. In our experience, public drug use is a symptom of people’s desperate need for shelter and mental health care. It’s also extremely unsafe due to the toxic drug supply.

As one of Toronto’s last providers of supervised consumption services, we continue to believe and trust in harm reduction to save lives and minimize the negative impacts of drug use. We believe in caring for people without requiring they stop using drugs in order to receive support.

With such great need for mental health care, overdose prevention, and shelter it’s essential to see the humanity of all people in our community.
This is everyone’s city.

Thank you for making compassionate HIV care a Big F*cking Deal-- our short film already has more than 100,000+ views. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but sometimes it just needs a spark of curiosity or empathy to start something big. This is just one fictional story, but there are hundreds of thousands of real-life stories of stigma out there. Thanks to your support, we hope to start 100,000 conversations about stigma, HIV awareness, and empathy.

For our second peer profile, we are introducing Izi! Izi knows firsthand the importance of social belonging. As a person living with HIV, he found Casey House during a difficult period of his life, fraught with isolation and stigma. When he arrived, Izi felt like he’d found his home, a place where people offered unconditional compassion and warmth. Now, he hopes to pay it forward as a peer supporting other clients who may have felt the same way he did.

“In this House, I learned that we are never truly lost as long as someone is willing to look us in the eyes and say, ‘I see you. I know your pain. And you are safe here.’”

For World Social Work Day, we extend our gratitude to all social workers and social service workers for their incredible efforts supporting clients across numerous fields including housing support, harm reduction, emotional counselling, employment, government support services, and so much more.

At Casey House, we applaud social work professionals for their impressively diverse skill set and the unwavering compassion they bring to our clinical team. And, we are proud to celebrate nearly a full year since our new social service workers joined the outpatient team; the SSWs help with case management and have been a major driver in facilitating new client registrations.

Today highlights the peak of social work love – with March being national social worker appreciation month and March 3-9 marking social worker appreciation week in Ontario. Thank you to all our social service workers and social workers at Casey House and beyond!

Casey House has made empathy a Big F*cking Deal for 38 years. When we first opened our doors in March 1988, people with HIV were frequently dehumanized and isolated, even during their final days. Though medical advancements for HIV care have improved, stigma persists. And it gets worse when compounding factors like homelessness, substance use, gender expression, sexuality, and race are involved. Since our inception, Casey House has dared to provide compassionate care that meets people where they are at. By respecting their autonomy and seeing their humanity, we empower folks in their journeys to health and wellness.

This segment from the panel discussion at our Big Fu***ng Deal premiere highlights the importance of respect and equity as a care provider for marginalized communities. If we make health equity and social prosperity a big fu***ng deal, maybe living with HIV wouldn’t be.

Video transcript: "At the end of the day, when it comes to providing care for somebody there's no better way to do that than to ask that individual what they need...We can want to do so many things for somebody because we think it will fix their life in this moment, or maybe tomorrow it'll fix their life, but when we do those things, we take away autonomy from somebody, self governance from somebody. So in terms of say you have somebody who is living precariously or potentially unhoused, we ask, 'what can we do for you?What do you need right now?'" ~

Our Story

Canada’s only stand-alone HIV/AIDS hospital with inpatient, outpatient and community care. Casey House is still one of the few places where people with HIV/AIDS can seek care without judgement. We are more than a place that saves lives, we are a place that speaks up, shines understanding through compassion, and empowers our clients to get better. We make our clients’ humanity more visible than their disease.
