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.
