多伦多冬季避难所扩建了1,275个空位,并在2025-2026年增加了370个住房单元,但倡导者说,这仍不能满足需求。
Toronto expanded winter shelters by 1,275 spaces and added 370 housing units for 2025–2026, but advocates say it still falls short of meeting demand.
多伦多于11月15日启动了其2025年冬季服务计划,将住房容量扩大1,275个空间,包括在5°C或天气警报期间启动的暖化临时中心,并新增370个住房单元。
Toronto launched its 2025 winter services plan on November 15, expanding shelter capacity by 1,275 spaces, including warming respite centers activated at -5°C or during weather warnings, and adding 370 new housing units.
该计划持续至2026年4月15日。
The plan runs through April 15, 2026.
虽然倡导者承认这一扩大是向前迈出的一步,但他们表示,这一扩大仍然不能满足全部需求,使许多无家可归的人由于获得机会有限、外联差距和住房供应不连贯而面临与寒冷有关的伤害风险。
While advocates acknowledge the expansion as a step forward, they say it still fails to meet the full demand, leaving many homeless individuals at risk of cold-related harm due to limited access, outreach gaps, and inconsistent shelter availability.
