10 Year Housing and Homelessness Plan
County of Dufferin
Community Services, County of Dufferin

Currently Dufferin faces issues of affordability, income disparity and an expanding senior's population. The average price of a bachelor's apartment in the County is not affordable for someone working for minimum wage and the average household income varies significantly depending on where one lives in the County. In creating this plan the County carried out community consultation through housing forums and surveys. It aims to take action through proper asset management to maintain the current supply of housing units and services, expanding the supply where possible.

This study examined discrimination experienced by newcomers attempting to access housing in Toronto. It found that 85-92% of recent newcomers experience some kind of discrimination when they attempt to secure housing. Based on these disappointing findings, CERA is planning to develop a City-wide awareness campaign directed at housing providers.

This study looked at health records from 2004/5-2009 for 1,165 adults using homeless shelters and meal programs in Toronto to assess patterns of health care use. It found that people experiencing homelessness were in more frequent contact with health care services than residents living in neighbourhoods with low household incomes and a small group had very high health care needs.

Gaetz, Stephen
One of the major challenges of working with people who experience homeless is addressing their legal and justice issues, the range of which are varied and complex. This means not only dealing with individuals encounters with police, the courts and corrections - in some cases as a result of their illegal activities - but also their experiences as victims of crime...
