Their stepsAsk an agency already helping you (a Housing Help Centre, a community legal clinic such as ACTO, the Toronto Rent Bank or City shelter services) to refer you to EPIC; landlords can refer too. The referring agency does a short pre-screening interview and sends your details to EPIC. An EPIC caseworker calls you to check eligibility; cases are prioritized by the date received, how far the eviction has gone and your risk. If you need emergency shelter or other housing help now, call 311
