Sir Robert Williams was instrumental in establishing St. Leonards House in Windsor in 1962. Two years later, Sir Robert moved his family to Bramalea where he soon became involved with the St. Vincent de Paul Society. His altruistic nature led him to open his home to inmates who had nowhere else to go. A Board of Directors was formed with like-minded, motivated and dedicated members of the community. Two-and-a-half acres of land were donated by Bramalea Limited. And on June 21, 1971, Sir Robert Williamss dream became a reality and St. Leonard's Place Peel opened its doors to 21 men. Today, with 117 beds, it is one of the largest transitional houses in Ontario.

Supportive Housing St. Leonard's Place Peel combines housing and many services in one location, which is a cost-effective model for providing intensive support for helping people live more stable and productive lives. It has been shown, through cost-benefit analysis, that the supportive housing model is preferable to other approaches that encourage the homeless population to cycle through emergency shelters, hospitals, detention facilities, rehab centres and the streets. ... The positive social, economic and community impacts of this housing approach have been studied and documented numerous times.
