A series of federal and provincial governments have left Simcoe County’s poor to suffer the degradations and misery of the street — to suffer the judgment and cruelty of society’s ignorant. According to the 2009 poverty report of the Simcoe County Alliance to End Homelessness, 7,500 people experienced homelessness in 2008. Many of these individuals were women who were sexually or physically assaulted, averaged three or more years of homelessness, and suffered psychological and physical harm from life on the streets (SCATEH 2009).
