At Dundas and Sherbourne, Tiny Tiny Homes operates a dedicated street outreach unit created in collaboration with Reed In The Street. The unit serves as both a functional outreach space and a visible symbol of care, creativity, and community-led support during Toronto’s winter months.
Together, the two organizations transformed a Tiny Tiny Home into a mobile hub stocked with winter jackets, sleeping bags, blankets, and other essential cold-weather supplies for people living outdoors.
As shown in recent on-the-ground videos shared by Reed In The Street, the unit was thoughtfully organized to hold and distribute winter gear directly from the street. The interior was set up to make supplies easy to access and distribute, allowing volunteers to respond quickly to what people need most in the moment.
This practical setup helps outreach teams meet people where they are, without requiring them to travel or navigate formal systems during extreme cold.
In addition to its functional role, the outreach unit was painted and finished with custom exterior artwork through Reed In The Street. The artwork transformed the tiny home into something welcoming and human, helping it stand out not as a service vehicle, but as a shared community space.
The creative collaboration reflects a shared belief that dignity matters, not just in what is provided, but in how it is offered.
This project represents a true collaboration between Tiny Tiny Homes and Reed In The Street, combining mobile shelter design, grassroots outreach, and creative expression. The result is a unit that provides warmth, supplies, and connection during the hardest months of the year.
The Dundas & Sherbourne outreach unit is sustained through community donations. Contributions help keep the unit stocked with winter supplies and allow outreach teams to continue supporting people on the street.
