Ending Homelessness

We know that the time for coordinated and innovative action is now.  

We have a unique opportunity right now to effectively ending chronic homelessness in Toronto.   

  • The City of Toronto has committed to our vision of homelessness being rare, brief and non-recurring, and to housing as a human right.  It is changing policy and program delivery to meet that goal.  The new homelessness data dashboard is one example.

  • The Province of Ontario continues to maintain its goal of ending chronic homelessness for 4 key populations by 2025 and is currently reviewing it supportive housing strategy.

  • The Government of Canada has committed to ending all chronic homelessness in Canada by 2028.  It is assisting communities in acquiring more spaces to turn into housing and its Reaching Home program is about to fund to housing outcomes for people experiencing homelessness.

All these are opportunities and openings that the Alliance and allied sectors and supporters can take advantage of.  We believe that is we all work collectively to the common goal of ending homelessness we can do just that.

Therefore, the TAEH is coordinating a city-wide effort to create a modern, nimble, and evidence-informed Coordinated Access System to Housing and Supports that will drive consistent reductions in homelessness, leading to the wonderful day where homelessness truly is rare, brief and non-recurring in Toronto.

The City of Toronto is a key partner in our work – but they cannot do it alone.  We need you too!
