Benefit top-up will help around 1,350 people find housing, City of Toronto says
A top-up to the Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit (COHB) will help around 1,350 people find housing and relieve pressure on Toronto’s shelter system, officials say.
The City of Toronto said in a news release Monday that new applications are being accepted following a one-time $13.4 million top-up to the COHB, funded by the City and the provincial government.
“These additional housing benefits will prioritize asylum seekers in addition to other people experiencing homelessness,” the City said.
