What Winnipeg can learn from Toronto’s housing model
A new mental health and addictions hospital and housing units will be built in Winnipeg replicating a housing project based in Toronto.
Winnipeg is set to learn from Toronto's successful housing and mental health model. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced plans for a new mental health and addictions hospital, along with 2,000 housing units, in Winnipeg. The vision is to replicate Toronto's Dunn House, a project that achieved a 52% reduction in emergency room visits and saved more than $2 million.
The budget allocates $1 billion for this initiative, with the exact location still uncertain. Winnipeg's leaders are determined to address the crisis quickly and effectively, with an eye on achieving 2,000 housing units by 2031.
