Community Safety & Wellbeing Data

The SafeTO dashboard presents metrics to describe the activities and impact of key community safety and wellbeing initiatives. These initiatives provide a holistic approach to improving outcomes for community safety, gun violence and, program prevention and intervention in Toronto.

Information in the SafeTO dashboard is organized by three response levels:

  • Prevention – the reduction of risks by proactively implementing measures, investments, policies or programs to reduce priority risks before they result in crime, victimization or harm
  • Intervention – the mitigation of elevated risk situations by involving multiple sectors to address or interrupt escalating situations
  • Response and Recovery – the immediate response to urgent incident and the support and long-term social development for communities

These metrics include program outputs, financial investments and incident trends. The data originates from different City-led community safety programs and will be updated as new information becomes available.

  • Partner and build support for affordable housing through improved education, communication, outreach and awareness, and by supporting partners who are in the business of creating and maintaining affordable rental and/or seniors' housing in Durham Region.
  • Showcase best practices and share information to build Durham Region's reputation as an affordable housing and seniors' housing exemplar, fit for imitation by others.
  • Advocate responsibly to senior levels of government for affordable and suitable housing that meets the needs of all.
