Homelessness

 




A lot’s been done to reduce homelessness in Toronto . Yes, there are still people sleeping on the streets. Unfortunately, the City can’t force people off the streets and into institutional care but it can reach out and invite them into a safer environment where they’ll have a chance to change their lives.

This program – which has a
Scarborough outreach component–  has been very successful. It’s won a United Nations award and is being copied by other cities.
