Building Inclusivity: Strategies to End Chronic Homelessness in Ontario

The housing crisis in Canada—and particularly in Ontario—goes beyond the lack of affordable homes. It is a complex challenge deeply intertwined with systemic issues like poverty, mental health, addiction, and access to essential services. Branching from the groundbreaking “Municipalities Under Pressure: The Growing Human and Financial Cost of Ontario’s Homelessness Crisis” report from the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), this event will delve into these intersections, emphasizing evidence-based strategies to end chronic homelessness.

Join policymakers, community leaders, and experts as they explore innovative housing solutions rooted in coordinated support systems. Topics will include expanding affordable housing options, strengthening mental health and addiction services, improving access to employment and childcare, and fostering economic stability. Together, we'll discuss actionable pathways to create sustainable, inclusive communities where everyone has a safe, stable place to call home.
