1. Why is the city still using bunk beds in its shelters??? Bunk beds aren’t accessible and they ensure that people don’t have adequate private space in congregate shelters. 2. It is clear that Seaton House has empty floors. Why is this? Does the city plan to shut down Seaton…

Fire at Seaton House shelter!! First we are deeply concerned about the wellbeing of the shelter resident who received 2nd degree burns from the fire. We hope he recovers soon. We would also like to demand some answers from Chris Moise and City Hall…

House this year? If so, where will the 400-500 residents go? 3. How will the city work more diligently to ensure there aren’t more fires at shelters? Shelters are supposed to be safe indoor alternatives to tents outside according to city comms.

‼️A must read. Most egregious is the entirely silent provincial Medical Health Officer Kieran Moore. If he can’t advocate to save these sites based on science he should resign. Same for Dr Dirk Huyer, Chief Coroner of Ontario.

This is being done with debt financing and equity from the government. In other words, public money being handed to a newly-formed private capital fund so they can buy up condos and rent them out at full market rate.

"Parkdale has become a hot spot for rent disputes. Over the past 10 years, tenants at 87, 91 and 200 Jameson Avenue, along with residents in 1251 King Street West and 135 Tyndall Avenue, have pushed back against proposed hikes by management"

@TheGrindTO @Gruesomebrat Thank you for reporting on this. It is important to identify that this years winter response is actually much worse then previous years as the city cut over 2000 beds from the system throughout 2025. This means there was over 2000 less spaces available this winter then last year.

Who's tracking these numbers & how? I'd like to connect. I'm doing research project on homelessness now. We need to bring reality to light. There is some noise, but nothing seems to be organized. As if people having their own agenda or something, forgetting human lives r at risk.
Shelter and Housing Justice Network@SHJNetwork

@AHomelessDocCAN Despite additional cots being available for much of January due to warming centres being open, the city turned away 30 people on average every single from a shelter bed. The system is broken. People can’t get emergency shelter in this city when they need it.

RIP Giorgio Mammoliti He called people in Jane and Finch "cockroaches," and campaigned on destroying social housing. We'll never forget him
