As the city filed it
Toronto is currently facing an affordable housing and homelessness crisis. In 2018, City Council set a goal of opening 1000 new shelter beds within the next year to address the growing need in the City. Earlier this year, the City opened a new women's shelter at 348 Davenport Road, operated by the YWCA. The shelter will permanently replace the 24-hour respite site that operated at 348 Davenport from January 28 to May 25, 2018.
