With a week to go before homeless residents have to leave a Toronto hotel-turned-shelter, some say they don't know where they'll end up once they have to move out while advocates say the timing means many could be left to fend for themselves in the cold.
The shelter site at what was formerly the Novotel Hotel Centre in downtown Toronto was leased by the city after the pandemic hit.
But individuals who live at the site, as well as those who work with them, say not all residents have been able to find alternative housing ahead of the deadline. The city said it had been working to relocate the site's residents since Oct. 11. Nine have moved to permanent housing since the site stopped taking new admissions in October and another 33 have housing plans in place, the city said. If housing isn't available or doesn't meet a resident's medical needs, they will be placed in alternative shelters, the city said.
The woman was taken to another shelter hotel, Jackson said, noting that most shelter hotels have had their operations extended until April 2023. According to data from the city's central intake team, an average of 187 daily callers could not be matched with a shelter space in October. The City of Toronto said it's creating more than 1,000 new housing spaces for the winter, including 400 new affordable homes and 230 additional spaces in the existing shelter system.
