‘People need housing they can afford,’ . There were an estimated 7,347 unhoused people in TO in 2021. That number increased to 15,418 by 2024 fueled.by a sever lack of affordable/supportive housing options, low wages and inadequate income supports.#ONpoli.

Flip side of that coin is those same 'Benefit Unit' rules that disincentivize cohabitation can also trap ppl in abusive and/or toxic relationships/environments e.g. partner's income reduces other partner's #ODSP cheque, creating a power imbalance in which one controls all the $$.

Despite #HousingCrisis Ont's social assistance prog's - #OW & #ODSP - disincentivize couples living together. 'Benefit unit' rules are based on outdated assumptions that don't reflect the realities of poverty, disability & the real cost of living. #ONpoli.

Govt of Canada website: "The first month of eligibility for the Canada Disability Benefit is June 2025 and it is expected that payments will begin in July 2025". We've been refreshing this page all day. Still nothing.

About 80,000 homeless people in Ontario last year. The number of #homeless encampments in #Ontario has more than doubled over the past year and continues to grow exponentially. Sure, let's keep doing that.
NEW: Premier Doug Ford on PM mark Carney’s homebuilding plans:. “ The worst thing to do is get government to build homes … I believe in giving it to the private sector.”. Ford says the homebuilding sector needs to be recharged and asks people to consider buying a condo now that.
