In the fall of 2010, Change Toronto, The John Howard Society of Toronto and Redemption Reintegration Services held a series of forums on homelessness after incarceration. These forums, which attracted over 500 participants, highlighted the need to further discuss viable housing options for people coming out of incarceration. Following these workshops, Fred Victor and The John Howard Society of Toronto partnered on a transitional housing pilot project for former inmates in Toronto. As a follow-up to the previous forums, Fred Victor, The John Howard Society of Toronto and Change Toronto held the February 2nd Transitional Housing in Toronto: Perspectives and Opportunities forum to continue the discussion of options for former inmates experiencing homelessness, as well as looking at transitional housing as an option for other individuals facing homelessness, such as newcomers, people with active addictions and seniors. Approximately 150 people from a variety of organizations and government agencies were in attendance and there was an additional waiting list for this forum. Transitional housing offers individuals who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, time-limited housing along with support services that can assist in building the skills necessary to maintain permanent housing in the future. This forum’s intent was to provide an opportunity for participants to learn more about ways in which transitional housing can address homelessness, hear about the successes and challenges of transitional housing that already exists in Toronto, and discuss opportunities for developing additional transitional housing in the city. This discussion of transitional housing is not a new topic of discussion but rather one designed to meet renewed interest in the topic and explore the topic further from a variety of perspectives.
