There is a rising homelessness crisis that exists amidst a housing affordability crisis. It is taking a devastating toll on individuals and communities.
Increasing housing affordability is the primary solution; however, there are a range of actions that can be taken by all orders of government to prevent and break the cycle of homelessness. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) is requesting that all levels of government come together to jointly co-design and implement a plan of action to end homelessness in Ontario. This proposal provides five recommended foundational steps and twenty-three recommended actions.
