How It Works
Welcome to the Street Voices Directory. There are many ways you can search for a service on our home page.
Search for services in your city
You can do a general search by entering the name of the service in the search bar or by entering the name of the city you are looking for services in.
You can also click on the icons below the search bar to filter the type of service you are looking for, such as shelter, health, food, programs, legal or employment.
Or you can look at the entire Directory by clicking “Directory” at the top left corner.
Sign up as a user
You may also log in and sign up for an account on our home page
This is our login and sign-up page, if you already have an account, please login to access your profile. If you are new to the Directory please click on Sign up to begin creating your account as either a “User” or a “Provider”.
There are two different types of accounts you can make when you sign up. The account types are similar but do have differences in what you can do. Both the “User” and “Provider” account types can search for services, save and review listings, as well as participate in discussions in the forum.
If you are logged in as a “User” or “Provider” you may leave reviews at the bottom of a listing’s profile.
As a “User” you can access your profile by clicking your name at the top of the page.
You can also view your favourited listings, discussions and reviews.
Sign up as a service provider
When you sign up for the “Provider” account you can claim a listing as your own and will be reviewed and verified by our team to ensure you are the actual provider of said service. Once you are approved you will be able to edit your listing and monitor the reviews.
If you are logged in as a “User” or “Provider” you may leave reviews at the bottom of a listing’s profile.
As a “Provider” when you click on your name at the top of the page you will have access to your profile, your claimed services, your favourited listings, discussions and reviews.
As a “Provider” account, you may claim your listing by clicking “Claim” at the top of the search result or at the top of the listing’s profile. Claiming your service gives you the ability to edit your listing.
When you use our Directory you will be taken to the results page where you can refine your search or look at the map view of the listings.
Advanced Filter Search
To refine your search click “Search Filters” at the top of the search results page.
The “Filter” options will appear on the left side of the screen. You can now refine your search by Cities, Categories, Ages Serve, Gender Serve and Type
To refine your search click on the filter option you want to choose and check the boxes that apply to your desired search. Once you find a listing you want to look at you can click on it and it will lead to the listing’s profile.
View services on a Map
To get to the map view, click the sliding button next to “Maps” in the top right corner of the search results page.
From here you can click on the desired service and view their profile.
Each listing has a profile that shows its name, an overview, service information, contact information, map view, relevant media and a review section.
Search by Tags
Some listings include tags at the bottom of the profile. You can click on a tag to be taken to a list of all services related to that tag.
