flag Ontario’s largest city mayors demand provincial emergency status and $11B in funding to address escalating homelessness, mental health, and addiction crises.

flag Ontario’s 29 largest city mayors are urging the provincial government to declare a state of emergency over a worsening crisis involving homelessness, mental health, and addiction, citing unsustainable local funding burdens. flag They say municipalities have contributed over half of the $4.1 billion spent on housing and homelessness programs in 2024 and demand $11 billion in provincial investment over the next decade. flag While the province highlights recent funding for housing and recovery hubs, mayors argue these efforts fall short and stress that cities cannot bear the responsibility alone. flag Some treatment hubs replaced supervised consumption sites closed under a new law restricting their placement near schools and daycares.
