Looks good although the scale of the new projects is pretty small compared to the number of increased homeless, and the housing will take a year to become available (if it is built to schedule). They don't provide an overall survey of all affordable housing projects happening.
The scale of the issue so far is pretty small compared to the financial capacity of the municipality and province and overall growth and amount of construction. Some people have been displaced from rooming houses due to gentrification and development. That also tends to be a pretty small scale issue in that most of those places don't have very many units. The total increase in the number of homeless people in the articles works out to 1 medium sized apartment building. I'm sure it's also a challenge to connect the actual people who need housing with the units appropriate for them at the right time.
