The facts about homelessness and poverty in Toronto
There are over 10,000 people in Toronto who are homeless on any given night. There are many reasons why people become homeless – loss of employment, family break-up, family violence, mental illness, poor physical health, substance use, physical, sexual or emotional abuse just to name a few.
One in four children and one in five adults live in poverty in Toronto. Despite growing prosperity in some parts of the city, many communities continue to experience significant poverty, at higher rates than the rest of the City. Poverty is increasingly racialized and gendered. According to Statistics Canada, Toronto Takes The Top Spot For The Highest Ratio of Poverty In Canada. Canada’s largest city has claimed the top spot for the rate of people in poverty, across the country.
All donations to help address homelessness and poverty in Toronto will receive a tax receipt from Unity Values Foundation.
