Make Toronto's Public Vehicles Available for Temporary Shelter for the Homeless
The Issue
The City of Toronto has a significant number of people experiencing homelessness, with an estimated 8,700 people without a home on any given night (source: The Homeless Hub, 2020). In light of ongoing housing and shelter crisis, this petition proposes an innovative approach - making all registered City of Toronto public vehicles available to provide accommodation for the night for those who are unhoused. Vehicles that are typically parked in municipal lots for the night can be made available as temporary shelters. This would be a temporary accommodation option for those who have nowhere to go, providing warmth and safety for specific nights. It would be an intermediary solution until more permanent housing can be secured. Join us in urging the City of Toronto to take this step and offer temporary shelter to those most vulnerable in our city by making the most of the resources readily available.
