Like many Canadian cities, Thunder Bay is in a housing crisis. Homelessness has never been more visible nor disruptive. Some people are choosing to live in tents while they wait for permanent or supportive housing.
Last year the province tripled the District of Thunder Social Services Administration Board’s Homelessness Prevention Program allocation for three years. TBDSSAB is using the funding increase to expand emergency shelter and outreach services and to add new transitional housing beds.
