Toronto’s encampments and homeless crisis: a view from the ground

Hundreds of encampments have popped up in Toronto’s city parks since the start of the pandemic. On “This Matters” we hear first-hand stories from Dom, an encampment resident who lives in Alexandra Park, who shares his experience surviving on the street. Lorraine Lam, an outreach worker from Sanctuary Toronto, joins part two of the episode to talk about what the city needs to do to help the most vulnerable.
