Free services but unfortunately its not worth it. Not even for free. I see a whole bunch of 5 star reviews but most of them put zero words in the comment which makes one suspect the authenticity of such reviews. I sough help from both legal and housing services located in the centre.
The housing services told me that I should search ViewIt website and kijiji. Seriously?? You call this "Housing Services" and get a nice office and salary for doing this? I can do that too if this is all you offer. Why should I be unemployed and you guys have jobs and income?
The legal aid services were just as bad

I had the unfortunate need to discuss a very private and concerning human rights issue. I was so happy with how this was dealt with and I had a very positive experience talking with the lawyer. I received excellent advise and management. I was able to move forward and feel very confident in how I have dealt with my legal issue. I would recommend West Toronto Legal Services unconditionally.
