As part of the federal budget announcement, the Government of Canada announced it would invest nearly $30 billion to address the country’s homelessness crisis with an ambitious plan to end homelessness within 10 years. MAP scientist Dr. Stephen Hwang spoke with the Toronto Star, calling the plan an “enormously important deal.” Dr. Hwang says that the government’s stated approach of combining housing, supports and health care is one that has been proven to work. He also emphasizes the importance of rigorous tracking of outcomes.
