Toronto City Council committed to creating 2,000 units of supportive housing annually to help address chronic homelessness experienced by thousands. But $27.6 million is still missing to fully fund them. The City says they’re waiting for the Province to fund the supportive services (like mental health and harm reduction supports), leaving 2,000 supportive housing units in limbo. If Premier Ford doesn’t include the funding then City Council needs to so that 2,000 units of supportive housing are created without delay. Learn more here.
Join us in collecting signatures to make sure 2,000 units of supportive housing open this year.
What will we be doing?
We’ll be meeting at busy intersections to talk to residents about supportive housing and how we can get the city to open 2,000 units. We’ll have a petition for people to sign and flyers to distribute.
Never done this before or not confident about what to say? Don’t worry! We will give you support, training, and a script to use to talk to people about supportive housing!
Once you sign up, we’ll send you a confirmation email with more details!
COVID-19 and safety
We will encourage participants to mask and practice physical distancing to help keep volunteers and our community members safe. We will continue to follow public health guidelines.
