The dashboard consists of data on the deaths of those experiencing homelessness staying in shelters and those living outdoors in other locations.
“To make the relationship more clear, starting in 2023, the deaths of shelter residents data will be published biannually to align with the release of Toronto Public Health’s data on deaths of people experiencing homelessness [outside of shelters],” said the City in an email., an organization that undertakes in many initiatives including street outreach, running a health clinic, community meals, among others and a volunteer for Toronto Homeless Memorial, says this change “doesn’t make any sense.
