In early February The Hoser was invited to a vigil in downtown Toronto to commemorate the lives of over 200 unhoused residents who died in the GTA in 2021. Hosts Shannon Carranco and Kevin Taghabon investigate the policy on the federal, provincial and city levels that have allowed for homelessness to grow since the early 90s.
They speak to Lorraine Lam, an outreach worker at Sanctuary—a safe place for the unhoused community in downtown Toronto since 1992, and Gru, a member of the unhoused community and outspoken advocate for housing rights in the GTA.
