There is a rising homelessness crisis that exists amidst a housing affordability crisis. It is taking a devastating toll on individuals and communities. 

Increasing housing affordability is the primary solution; however, there are a range of actions that can be taken by all orders of government to prevent and break the cycle of homelessness. AMO is inviting the provincial government to build on the productive work to date with AMO, municipalities, and District Social Service Administration Boards.

The next step needed is to come together to jointly co-design and implement a plan of action to end homelessness in Ontario.  This is an achievable goal with time and there is a moral and economic imperative to act now.  It is in the interest of all people in the province.

AMO has developed and provided a proposal to the province, with five recommended foundational steps and twenty-three recommended actions.
