In October 2024, TSSS conducted its sixth Street Needs Assessment (SNA), working collaboratively with community partners in the homelessness and allied sectors. This report provides key highlights of the main findings of the SNA, which directly inform HSCIS and TSSS's upcoming Five-Year Strategic Plan. The report includes a summary of the City's progress in the development of new shelters under HSCIS, including an update on new shelter locations confirmed to date. In alignment with HSCIS, this report provides an update on the Council-approved COVID-19 Shelter and Transition Plan, outlining next steps to decommission large shelter programs. This report also responds to City Council's direction in EC13.8 to explore the use of micro shelters as a rapid shelter program model on vacant or under-utilized City-owned lands. In order to support securing a potential location with a viable operating model, the City will release an Expression of Interest (EOI) for a partner-led micro shelter pilot initiative.
Staff recommended
