The number of homeless people in Toronto has more than doubled between the spring of 2021 and last fall, a newly released survey showed.
Toronto's Street Needs Assessment survey estimated that 15,400 people were homeless in Toronto last October, up from about 7,300 in April 2021.
"These data highlight the failure of multiple systems, such as affordable housing, health care, mental health, income support, and the justice system," a city report said.
