Toronto secures motel space to isolate homeless people with coronavirus
Toronto’s Shelter, Support, and Housing Administration (SSHA) has acquired additional motel space in Toronto to give “some limited ability” to isolate (homeless) persons diagnosed with or suspected to have COVID-19.
This information, which does not state how many rooms have been secured, is outlined in a March 10 memo provided from Gordon Tanner, the city’s director of homeless initiatives and prevention services, to homeless service providers in Toronto.
