Toronto has unveiled the locations of six planned homeless shelters to be built across the city and are expected to be ready to take on occupants by 2030.
With hundreds of unhoused people turned away from the overcapacity shelters each night, Toronto has developed a plan to build 20 new purpose-built shelters between 2024 and 2033.
The first two locations, expected to be open by 2027, are at 1615 Dufferin St. and 2535 Gerrard St. E. Four other locations are slated to open between 2028-2030 at 68 Sheppard Ave., 66 Third St., 1220 Wilson Ave., and 2024-2212 Eglinton Ave. W.For news impacting Canada and around the world, sign up for breaking news alerts delivered directly to you when they happen.
The move is also intended to depoliticize the locations that are chosen, however those efforts have done little to quell local pushback to sites that have been previously selected.
