What We Believe

The TAEH collective is united in our vision that homelessness in Toronto be

rare, brief and non-recurring.

  • Homelessness is the result of a combination of poverty, a lack of affordable housing and personal circumstances. It’s cost in human lives, potential and suffering is not an acceptable situation for any just or compassionate society.

  • Toronto, Ontario and Canada have the resources to end homelessness but lack a common agenda, sufficient coordination of services and adequate targeting of resources to effective solutions.

  • The City of Toronto has embedded this vision in their Housing For All Charter and in the Housing TO 2020-2030 Action Plan. We must all now work together to set appropriate targets and focus on initiatives that are person- centered and evidence based.

  • Inclusion of the experience and views of people with lived experience of homelessness must be an essential part of the work to end homelessness.
