YWCA Toronto remains steadfast in our commitment to advancing justice and equity for women, girls and gender-diverse communities in Toronto.
I am so inspired by the commitment of our frontline workers. In our four shelters and 550 units of supportive housing we count more than ever on our cleaning and maintenance staff, our community support workers, and the administrative staff who keep our programs open. Across the city our political leaders and civil servants are striving impressively to deal with the crisis that negatively affects the homeless and vulnerable disproportionately.
As you know, many of the communities we work with face marginalization, poverty, violence and other forms of systemic oppression. As an essential service provider, we are working very hard to ensure the best level of care for the residents in our shelters and supportive housing programs, as well as the safety of our staff.
