DELEGATIONS

7.1

Muskaan Sharma, Founder, The Future of Our Earth

Regarding Climate Change 

• Resolution Number 2023-178
  Received

Muskaan Sharma, Founder, The Future of Our Earth, stated her concerns regarding the potential impacts of development and urban sprawl on the environment and climate change, including redesignation of greenbelt lands from agricultural to rural; increased authority of Municipal Zoning Orders; construction of a highway through the Holland Marsh; loss of farmland and trees; and endangered wildlife and pollution. The delegate noted that other countries make choices to sustain greenery through programs that support tourism.

7.2

Michelle Bilek, National Organizer, Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness and Founding Member, Peel Alliance to End Homelessness

Regarding the Motion as Requested by Councillor Vicente to Advocate the Provincial Government on Homelessness (Related to 20.1) 

• Resolution Number 2023-179
  Received

Michelle Bilek, National Organizer, Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness and Founding Member, Peel Alliance to End Homelessness, stated that the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) provided a template for the motion listed as item 20.1 on the March 9, 2023 Regional Council agenda and an advocacy toolkit can be accessed on their web site. The delegate provided an overview of the causes of homelessness and stated that persons most in need of housing and at the highest risk of homelessness in Peel include low and very low-income households, women and women-led family households, and newcomers and refugees. The delegate requested that the subject motion be amended to delete language regarding the need for ‘middle-income’ housing support.

Councillor Vicente advised that he brought the motion forward as the representative for AMO. He noted that while housing affordability is a problem across all income levels, the core intention of the motion is to help those who are most vulnerable and experiencing homelessness. Councillor Vicente stated his support to amend the motion.

In response to a question regarding the effect of the amended motion on the Region’s overall housing strategy, the Commissioner of Human Services advised that the majority of Regional housing programs support low and very low-income families and a smaller proportion of the program supports middle-income families. The motion would not preclude the Region from providing its current program supports as it is a motion for advocacy to other levels of government.

Item 20.1 was dealt with.

NOTICE OF MOTION/MOTION

20.1

Motion Regarding Homelessness

• Resolution Number 2023-180
  Moved by Councillor Vicente
  Seconded by Councillor Reid

  Whereas the homelessness crisis is taking a devastating toll on families and communities, undermining a healthy and prosperous Ontario;

  And whereas, the homelessness crisis is the result of the underinvestment of successive provincial governments;

  And whereas, homelessness requires a range of housing, social service and health solutions from government;

  And whereas, homelessness is in part driven by a lack of housing affordable to low-income households;

  And whereas, homelessness is felt most at the municipal level of government and the residents that they serve;

  And whereas, in the Region of Peel shelter use increased by 26.9 per cent in 2021, 50 per cent of demand for persons with need for supportive housing continues to go unmet, and 70 per cent of low income households are living in unaffordable housing;

  And whereas, municipalities and District Social Administration Boards are doing their part, but do not have the resources, capacity or tools to address this complex challenge;

  And whereas, leadership and urgent action is needed from the provincial government on an emergency basis to develop, resource, and implement a comprehensive plan to prevent, reduce and ultimately end homelessness in Ontario;

  Therefore be it resolved:

  1. That the Provincial government urgently acknowledge that homelessness in Ontario is a social, economic, and health crisis; and
  2. That the Provincial government commit to ending homelessness in Ontario; and
  3. That the Provincial government increase the supply of housing affordable for low-income households; and
  4. That the Provincial government work with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and a broad range of community, health, Indigenous and economic partners to develop, resource, and implement an action plan to achieve this goal; and
  5. That a copy of this motion be sent to the Premier of Ontario, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing; Minister of Children, Community and Social Services; Minister of Health; Peel Members of Provincial Parliament, and to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO).

In response to an enquiry from Councillor Parrish regarding an update on the $8.1M federal grant for youth programs through the Building Safer Communities Fund, Nancy Polsinelli, Commissioner of Health Services, advised that the funds have been linked to the Community and Safety Well-being Program. The Region has received the 2023 funding and will continue to receive funds for the next three years. In 2022, staff created a steering committee with representation from local municipal partners and Peel Regional Police; and, conducted an extensive environmental scan to understand what upstream social development work is currently being done by our partners around guns and gang violence. The next stage is to meet with the steering committee and determine a framework for the distribution of dollars, including which partners should be involved and how to distribute the funds to leverage existing programs.
