Homelessness and Highrise Apartment Towers

highrise apartment towers: That is the growing reality for families with children living in Torontos aging highrise apartment towers that dominate the citys low-income neighbourhoods, according to a University of Toronto study being released Wednesday, according to The Star. Preliminary findings from the research, released last fall, showed that as many as nine in 10 of these families are at risk of homelessness and Overcrowding, elevator breakdowns, broken door locks, persistent pests, peeling paint and the ever-present worry about paying the rent. It is the first attempt to define and measure inadequate housing, hidden homelessness and the risk of homelessness among families in these communities, where about half of the citys tenants live.
