Between September 21 and 26, 2025, the Federal Housing Advocate visited the Region of Waterloo (including the cities of Cambridge and Kitchener) as well as London, Hamilton, and Toronto to hear directly from residents of homeless encampments, frontline workers, community organizations, and local decision-makers. The purpose of the trip was to assess how federal, provincial, and municipal responses to encampments are impacting people’s lives and to monitor the implementation of federal investments.
