In Toronto, I would link it directly to he "Common Sense Revolution" - an
insidious neo-liberal policy platform of the mid- 1990s Mike Harris
Conservative provincial government. Cutbacks to social programs, the
downloading of others onto cash-strapped municipalities, and an appalling
rollback of 22% to already ridiculously low social assistance payments
created the situation we see today. In that brief period of time, I would
argue that Toronto, in particular, changed considerably re: homelessness.
Others on this forum who are Toronto-based may have additional ideas.

You can also access some links to studies on homelessness (not sure if all
the links are current) on the Prevention Dividend website at:

Try here. Toronto-based Wellesley Central Health Corporation commissioned a
literature review on homelessness that includes a very comprehensive
bibliography.

Subject: [SDOH] Street Health reports?
I am putting together a small literature review on existing academic and
other
research on the health status of homeless people in Canada. I am looking for
studies that are comprehensive and might be comparable to the type of
community
health surveys undertaken by government agenices.
As far as I know, the 1992 'Street Health Report'
<http://www.tdrc.net/HealthRpt_sec01.pdf>, for Toronto, is the only report
of this kind. I am wondering if anyone knows of any similar reports,
published
or unpublished, that have been created in other parts of the country?
If so, can you please pass on any information you have about them, including
any contact people you may know about or information on how we can get a
hold
of the report?
Thanks very much.
