From that same article:
Quote:
“When we lose them, you lose a member of your family,” said Snow.

She and White are concerned about what they believe is a recent increase in homelessness since a number of hotels that had housed homeless and low-income people during the pandemic began terminating long-term residencies earlier this spring.

The bills were paid by provincial support programs, but the hotels were available because for much of the first year and a half of the pandemic, there were few travellers, for vacation or business.

Hotels are now opening up again to travellers as restrictions have largely been dropped over the last six months.

That has removed another resource that was providing housing for the homeless.

“There is no place for them to go,” said White.
The hotels kicked them out for good. So no, they really do not have any place to spend the night.
