Lets spend $$$ on “the most ambitious study of homelessness conducted across Ontario” to show folks how much homeless people we have instead of how can we solve that problem without blaming the government for it...
Decisions are made on the basis of the numbers in studies, not on the basis of "it sure feels like there 27% more homeless people this year." Accurate data are essential. It is very difficult to take a census of the homeless population. Recent efforts with new methodologies improved our view considerably, and though they still undercount, represent a meaningful step to improving the situation.
