Decision Advice and Other Information

Origin
Summary
This report provides an update on Toronto Shelter and Support Services’ (TSSS) long-term, proactive approach to capital planning through the new Homelessness Services Capital Infrastructure Strategy (HSCIS). This report also seeks funding to increase the total number of new long-term and permanent spaces in the base shelter system by 1,600 spaces between 2024 and 2033. The majority of these new spaces will replace the temporary spaces secured during the COVID-19 pandemic, including hotel sites, and will support recovery and stability of the shelter system. The requested funding will advance securing up to five new shelter sites in 2024 through acquisitions, and additional sites through development on existing City-owned land for the first phase of the HSCIS. The City is in active negotiations with the federal government to secure capital funding for the HSCIS Strategy.
This report also provides an update on other TSSS shelter development projects as part of the 2025 Shelter Infrastructure Plan as required by the Emergency Shelter Development Process (ESDP), approved by City Council in 2017. The Infrastructure Plan provides updates on the Housing and Shelter Infrastructure Development project (HSID, formerly 1,000 beds), the George Street Revitalization (GSR) project, in addition to the new projects as part of the HSCIS that will begin in 2024.
Finally, this report provides an update on the Council-approved COVID-19 Shelter Transition and Relocation Plan, including de-commissioning plans for temporary shelter hotel locations with the largest (more than 200) single adult and chronically homeless populations.
