"Toronto continues to see extreme pressures on our emergency shelter system. We're doing everything we can to accommodate this growing need," said Gord Tanner, head of shelter and support services for the city. He emphasized that demand is pushing the shelter system to its limits, operating at capacity each night, revealing a critical situation that stresses the need for ongoing support and services for the growing homeless population.
Tanner noted, "On average night this year, the city shelters about 12,200 people, up from 10,700 people last year". This significant increase clearly indicates the rising homelessness issue in the city and the dire necessity to continually adapt and expand the shelter resources to meet this urgent demand.
