Homeless people allegedly being shipped to London, Ont. draws ire of deputy mayor

The deputy mayor of London, Ont., is alleging that dozens of those living on the streets are being shipped to the city, many of them under false pretenses, and is urging for an end to the practice.

In a letter to his city colleagues, Shawn Lewis highlighted municipal data that shows 319 people arriving from outside the city in the first half of 2023 seeking homelessness support services have been sent back to communities “where they have a natural support network.”

I don’t understand why he doesn’t name the organizations behind this.
