This
is
no
longer
a
hotel
for
the
general
public;
it
is
being
used
as
(temporary-
6
months
to
a
year)
housing
for
homeless
people
in
Toronto.
If
you
are
having
difficulty
securing
shelter
or
you've
been
evicted
and
have
nowhere
else
to
go,
please
call
311
and
you
will
be
transferred
to
a
worker
who
will
determine
which
social
service
provider
can
help
you
fix
your
housing
issues
as
efficiently
as
possible.
There
are
a
number
of
hotels
around
the
city
which,
following
a
huge
dip
in
tourism
as
a
result
of
Covid-19,
have
been
turned
into
housing
for
the
homeless.
Unlike
typical
shelters,
these
hotels
offer
privacy,
personal
showers,
regular
room
cleaning
&
laundry
services,
3
meals
a
day;
you
can
also
access
a
range
of
social
and
health
services
from
harm
reduction
programs,
medical
staff
on-site,
to
housing
workers
who
can
help
you
find
a
more
permanent
housing
solution.
Although
there
are
still
some
tent
encampments
around
the
city,
since
the
advent
of
the
'homeless
hotel,'
the
problem
is
not
nearly
as
widespread.
With
stable
housing,
people
can
finally
start
to
address
the
issues
that
put
them
out
on
the
street
in
the
first
place.
Rather
than
an
image
of
cops
and
bulldozers
steamrolling
through
people's
makeshift
homes,
the
homeless
hotel
offers
dignity,
comfort
and
personal
security,
and
provides
the
kind
of
services
that
can
ensure
people
won't
end
up
back
on
the
streets
when
the
year's
lease
is
over.
