What should the City do first about homelessness and public disorder in the ward?
There isn't a great deal of public disorder in the ward. Crime has dropped across the city. However, too many people are unhoused and we need to find them both emergency housing and more supportive long term housing which can also provide them with mental health and addiction supports.
I would prioritize 24-hour outreach and crisis response, connecting people directly to safe shelter and wraparound services, including mental-health care, addiction treatment and housing support. Teams should follow through so people receive ongoing help.
