Shelters are full and each night 230 people are turned away with nowhere to go. That’s why the City of Toronto plans to create 20 new shelters so people can have a safe place indoors. But some politicians and shelter opponents are trying to block them.

With nowhere to go, people are sleeping outdoors in parks, under bridges, and on sidewalks.

While we need more affordable housing, shelters are vital to tackling the homelessness crisis. Learn more and take action here.

The Ford Government will be closing 5 supervised consumption sites in Toronto—a move that experts say will result in the loss of lives. Supervised consumption sites are safe indoor spaces where people can use pre-obtained drugs under the supervision of trained health professionals. These health professionals are able to immediately assist a person experiencing an overdose. 21,000 overdoses were reversed in Ontario since 2020 because of these sites—saving lives.

Take action to protect life saving public health services here.
