Did you know that 22,000 Torontonians need access to mental health and addictions supportive housing?
22,000 people in need
As of today we are only able to accommodate 5,000 of them.
5,000 spaces for them
That means 17,000 of Toronto’s citizens living with serious and persistent mental health challenges continue to wait for access to affordable housing and supports.
17,000 people without adequate housing
The United Nations identifies access to adequate housing as a basic Human Right.
Supportive housing improves personal outcomes and saves money.
Yet people are homeless, many living with mental health and/or addictions challenges.
