We are a group of individuals who care deeply about living in a just city. We are frustrated with the City of Toronto’s misleading public statements about homelessness and housing because the impacts they can have on people’s lives can be the difference between life and death.

The knowledge on this website was produced through the collective efforts of many encampment residents, neighbours, front-line workers, advocates and researchers.
