We are a 6 figure income couple and had very little saved and not much cash lying around the preverbal". '...don't have $500 for an emergency" that was us. The big thing was debt all kinds of it, cars mortgage (although our home isn't a high price one), student loans for our kids, and of course credit cards. One day we just got sick of being broke and went total scorched earth and became frugal overnight. Paid it all off, it took almost 5 years but now we have no debt and this year our savings rate is 50% on basically the same income that had us perpetually broke. So for us it is mainly staying out of debt and watching our spending, at first it was a real effort to save in our HISA and 401Ks but now it's actually fun watching our money grow. No car or vacation or neighborhood is worth being broke or financially unstable.

I woke up this morning weighing the idea of going downtown to inquire about living in a shelter. Where I presently live I am scared to open the door, answer the phone or just walk down the hallway to go to the bus stop. It's not so much the residents that point out a rip in a pair of work jeans or the need for a haircut, as it is the yelling, intimidation and 'dirty looks' by the management and staff. It's nerve racking to fear the violent pounding on the door and to have the landlords walk into your place and scold you that you are on "private property", or have them call you on the phone claiming they are conducting an "investigation". People make mistakes yet incidents that are but misdemeanor violations by nature are construed as felonious. The sign out front on the boulevard says that it's "A great place to call home", but I just can't bring myself to use that word "home". There are so many people that have master keys to my door. I have looked into moving, but seemingly, prospective landlords don't want anyone over 60. It's not so much the fear of falling through the cracks as it is being pushed.

The issue arises where we can build. We ran into a problem on the 70s and 80s when building was basically unregulated (ergo why houses were so affordable) but we kept building on farmland and experts predicted that if such building continued we would have to import the majority of our food which would drastically increase the cost of food ergo all the red tape in building projects. We only have so much viable farmland in Canada despite such a large landmass so it's really a pick your poison. With such dramatic increases of immigration were running into a housing crisis, if we build like we did on the 80s houses will be cheaper but we'll see a food crisis.

That's the underlying assumption no one likes to talk about. Everyone has been brainwashed by the Gov't that if you spent your life in Canada and end up disabled and/or homeless it's 100 % your fault and you should suffer. This is not true and it is the real hate crime happening these days. Canadians beleive and vote for giving the lottery $ of funding and instant gov't housing to new immigrants that have never done a thing for Canada and never paid a cent of tax either. This corruptive hateful thinking is what has destroyed our country. Update for high income people you will never enjoy anything anywhere when almost 300 000 Canadians are homeless and living everywhere in tents and roaming the streets. You can't have people arrested because we don't have enough prisons/jails and you are going to have to reap the consquences with the brainwash hate mentioned above that you beleive. HELP your own people before doing anything else.

I've experienced living in Toronto shelters, including Seton House, colloquially known in the community as 'Satan House.' However, the perception of how terrible the shelter system is couldn't be further from the truth. The shelter system provides a valuable opportunity for individuals to rehabilitate off the streets, offering access to mental health care and potentially a secure home in the future. The primary deterrent for some is the prohibition of drug and alcohol use on-site. Regrettably, this restriction leads people to avoid shelters. Mischaracterizing the shelter system as inherently bad can be detrimental, especially for those struggling with mental illness, as it may discourage them from seeking help and lead to tragic outcomes on the streets.

If you are new to Canada they basically win the lottery. Priority instant immediate access to subsidized gov't housing, much higher monthly benefit funding $ 5700 and all kinds of other programs and other funding available to them. If you are a Canadian resident/citizen and have worked your whole life here paying taxes and contributing to the country you can end up homeless like this man and the other 275 000 homeless and have to wait more than 10 years to get gov't subsidized housing, much less monthly funding on benefits. No programs available for you just food banks that run ouf of food with long lines and shelters that are full of violence, theft and drugs and disease. Canada loves new immigrants only but completely neglects and discriminates against their own people. This is no secret to anyone in Canada and even around the world that's why so many people come here to scam our healthcare and education system and then leave. Canadians have been brainwashed into hating their own people and this is the consequences. Homeless people dying in tents in all kinds of weather everywhere in the country. 275 000 !!!

Bharat my motherland is heaven on earth. Atleast you get free doctor/shelter, food facilities by government here.

Hard interview to watch !

If I wont the lottery I personally would love to buy tiny homes or plots of land in the city and place a trailer or even built small house from scratch, so long as men/women agree to random drug test, would enjoy helping ppl get on thier feet, a cheap car, a job, especially if they have kids, and then get them VO5 shampoo, donated soaps or TP from other hotels I work, start them with some food, and get them piles of clean clothes & shoes, all they would have to do is help themselves by staying clean, & maintain clean home as well 💝💝 if they didnt would just ask them to leave and allow a new single parents a chance, I would simply ask for $100 rent per month and cover thier own utilities, up to 1 year. Then other use of my $$ would be buy a country home lots of land and adopt all the elderly dogs that nobody wants at the shelters, to live the rest of thier days at peace instead of a cage.

The gov better do something about this crisis

Well I know from experience it can happen to anyone my family lived in cabbage town my mother was pregnant with me when my father was in a car accident lost a leg almost died with two older boys already to consider. We had to live in government housing in Flemington park which like a shelter is full of crime and violence that's what poverty does to people. If he has 1500 a month he should move to KW or Kawartha region where there may be better housing options though he will need to leave all his friends and family if they are also from Toronto. That's survival now. Remember most people are only a couple of paycheques from being on the street themselves laid off beat up disabled whatever taxman don't care about your problems.

This is a huge country where there are many affordable places to live. Why would you live somewhere you cant afford. Pack up and move, you'll have a better quality of life.

Time to make changes to credit cards & motels - And insurance & commercial rentals -- there are plenty of shelter in Canada - but we can not do more the same old wayz. Building more Subburbz & cheap condoz only makes profit to the wealth & continues to damage the environment. Without essential changes to the " system" - more of the same solutions wont restore peoplez dignity & give them hope for a future.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the policies that have persisted through the decades devaluing the trades for post secondary education. The ongoing problems with inflation caused by international profiteering that skirts accountability because of the lack of enforcement. The over consumption, or lack of investment in renewable and finite resources and their alternatives in lieu of politicians being legally bought by corporations from every political party. It is entirely one person's fault. Good on you for finding the lynch pin of the entire problem. We are very proud.

Why isn't there exceptions for people who have extreme health issues for people like him. If they can put immigrants in hotels why can't they put him in one? This isn't write. He worked paid taxes all his life and he needs help. This isn't right

The reason our rents are so high is because we have landlords able to set prices as they see fit and there are people coming here and renting 6 to a room willing to split that 3000 bucks a month and go home after 8 months every year for four years. Its not their fault mind you, its smart on their part. The problem is when we have disposable income and no rent controls that ubi will just be absorbed by the landlords. Its not an answer.

Homelessness falls under provincial jurisdiction. The Premiers in each province must step up and stop worrying about private interests. They must take care of all their people and stop blaming the feds. When the Premiers want to do things themselves, they tell the feds where to go. But when it comes to issues they prefer to not deal with, they call on the federal government. Such hodgepodge. Why whine only when you can tug on some heartstrings? Take care of your people in Alberta, Saskatchewan , Ontario, etc. The feds do all they can.

That's not entirely true, it can be true but the federal government plays a very large role in the economic impacts which lead one to be homeless.
