As reported to the Region’s Public Health and Social Services Committee on Jun. 15, 2021, regional staff identified 665 people experiencing homelessness in Niagara. Of that number, 18% were children (aged 0-15 years), over 10% were youth (16-24 years) and 5% were seniors (greater than 65 years).
Yet, despite the harrowing figures, and now with snow on the ground and temperatures dropping, regional staff continue to ignore recommendations related to the homelessness crisis in Niagara Region. This includes burying an audit report on the programs aimed to help prevent homelessness.
