“The word I would use to describe supportive housing is empowerment.”
Dena and Thomas from @FredVictorTO currently support 22 tenants and get to see first-hand the impact that supportive housing has on people’s lives. 🏡💙
Supportive homes offer people a warm, safe place to live while also providing tailored supports that empower residents to remain stably housed and rebuild their lives.
The City’s HousingTO Plan views supportive housing as a vital part of the solution to Toronto’s housing crisis. Throughout 2023 and to date in 2024, the City opened over 1,200 new affordable rental, rent-geared-to-income, and supportive homes, with more on the way.

The Downtown East Action Plan aims to coordinate City services to address complex challenges related to poverty, homelessness, community safety, mental health, substance use, and the drug poisoning crisis. Visit Toronto.ca/downtowneast to complete the survey or attend a meeting.
Temperatures will hit dangerous levels today. For people experiencing homelessness, relief from the heat in an air-conditioned house or office is not an option. People rely on our services. We rely on your support.

Today, shelter & housing advocates traveled from across GTA & Ontario to tell Ford to "PUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE BUDGET." Auditor General has reported that the Conservative government has no actual plan to end homelessness. It's their political choice is to let people suffer.
There is a housing crisis in Ontario and the 2023 provincial budget must address it! Affordable housing now! #HousingCrisis – at Toronto, Ontario
