Biking in Toronto, you see things that you would miss when driving a car. Here's a testament to the tenacity of life -- a sidewalk tree that won't give up, and if you look more closely, the home of a person who is also just trying to survive.

In our latest paper, led by Dr. Kathryn Wiens, we found striking disparities in diabetes care for people with a history of homelessness. There is a strong need to create and invest in tailored interventions to support this population: diabetesresearchclinicalpractice.com/article/S0168-…

Knowing when our patients are experiencing #homelessness is the first step to providing the best possible care and addressing housing as a determinant of health. Our new research at MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions Unity Health Toronto sheds light on this connection.

📢 Introducing Fair Rent Ontario! 📢 Fair Rent Ontario is a diverse coalition sounding the alarm on unfair rents in Ontario by demanding a change to the rules around rent control. Rents have climbed 55% in the past decade. 52% of Ontario renters live in unacceptable housing.
