Toronto Community Hostels is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Ontario, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $988K in revenue and $1.2M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 98% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 3 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $24K.
Compared with 1,890 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 31% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 8 permanent full-time positions.
