The Province of Ontario has recently increased investments to support people at risk of homelessness by funding a project to build more supportive housing in the Durham Region. The government provided over $8 million through the Social Services Relief Fund (SSRF), and more than $3 million in partnership with the Government of Canada through the Ontario Priorities Housing Initiative (OPHI). This funding is crucial because it will allow for the construction of 27 transitional housing units in Beaverton and 18 affordable housing units in Whitby. These projects will provide services such as aiding individuals with building life skills, finding employment opportunities, improving mental health, and supporting addictions. Investments such as this are critical to addressing the rise in homelessness, and the programs that will be implemented at these housing units will be incredibly useful to help members of the unhoused community forge a path towards success.
