… the city’s new budget… promises $10 million in new investment to fight homelessness and poverty plus a further $4 million in capital funding. “It’s going to be targeted funding to really focus on bringing some of the homelessness numbers down, and decreasing some of the effects of poverty” [chair Marion Wright] said. Next, she said, the federal and Ontario governments should try to measure up to what Ottawa is doing. The number of people who used temporary shelters last year -7,156 of them -was almost unchanged from the previous year.
