TORONTO — A brand new report by Ontario’s municipalities says greater than 80,000 individuals have been homeless final 12 months.
The Affiliation of Municipalities of Ontario says the groundbreaking report is believed to be probably the most correct image of provincewide homelessness thus far.
The affiliation pulled knowledge from the province’s 47 service managers who cope with social housing and homelessness.
AMO coverage director Lindsay Jones says the numbers are staggering.
The report says 40,000 of these individuals have been homeless for six months or extra.
There are actually 25 per cent extra individuals dwelling in shelters or on the streets, in comparison with two years in the past.
This report by The Canadian Press was first printed Jan. 9, 2025.
