🤬Today. @cityoftoronto only 24/7 cooling centre/shelter for a geography of 43km east-west and 21 km north-south for unhoused, dangerously housed (eg without a/c in rooming houses) leaves a lot to be desired - like cots and food. Tell your councillor and @MayorOliviaChow 🙏

Noteworthy that PC MPP Stan Cho, who has a Toronto home but frequently billed taxpayers for Toronto hotel stays, was a key figure in the fight against supportive housing on Cummer Ave. for people escaping homelessness in Willowdale thestar.com/news/gta/toronto…

Toronto’s modular home projects were supposed to be a quick way to ease its housing crisis. So why...

A supportive housing development on Cummer Avenue remains unbuilt after more than three years, while a similar project in East York has been providing much-needed homes.

“New book by Flynn and Hermer ‘Bylaw State’ chronicles the rapid emergence & evolution of municipal bylaws across the country as a tool for the removal & criminalization of unhoused people amidst the blatant absence of housing justice.” Crowe ⛺️🚓

the host also said shelter occupancy was at 8000 in april, much less than previous months, implying people are getting inside. NO: in april, thousands of winter service plans beds were removed. less beds available = less people in them. NOT that there’s less people needing them.

just did a segment with @NEWSTALK1010 and the host said in april, 85 people on average got a shelter bed (so union station unhoused people can try!) factually the host is wrong. 85 people on average COULD NOT get a bed. on avg, only 20 a night would. toronto.ca/city-government/d…
