The number of people actively experiencing homelessness in Toronto continues to grow. New homes with support services are urgently needed to ensure everyone has a warm, safe place to call home.
Supportive housing provides an affordable rental home with individualized health and social supports that help people to live independently and achieve housing stability.
In December 2019, City Council adopted the HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan to provide a blueprint for action across the full housing continuum. The HousingTO Action Plan includes a target to approve 18,000 supportive homes by 2030. To achieve this ambitious target the City and its non-profit partners have pursued a number of strategies and leveraged multiple programs to quickly create new supportive housing opportunities for people experiencing or at-risk of homelessness, including:
The City has also worked to leverage the existing supply of rent-geared to income (RGI) housing and layer on supportive services in order to support housing stability. These layered supports are provided with the City’s non-profit partners through new initiatives, including the Rapid Rehousing Initiative, in which households access follow-up supports through the City’s Housing Focused Client Supports program, and the Anchor Agency Services and Supports programs.
The City’s delivery of new supportive housing requires a whole of government and whole of community approach, and depends on partnerships across the public, non-profit, private, and community sectors:
