Nearly one person a day who experiences homelessness dies in Toronto .

The root causes of homelessness include job loss, family breakup, family violence, mental illness, poor health, substance use and physical, sexual or emotional abuse.

Toronto Public Health reported 631 deaths of unhoused people in the city in 2022 and 2023 .

In the first six months of 2024 , 135 residents lost their lives.

“The majority of people in Toronto and throughout the province understand that the solution to this is housing. But I don’t think we are building enough housing because the crisis continues to get worse. I think the city gets that, but we do need commitments from the province and from the federal government to realize this in a good way.”.
