Ontario Investing to Find Long-Term Housing for Asylum Claimants

We have seen a growing number of asylum seekers arriving in Ontario in need of a range of critical supports, including a safe place to live.

Today, Premier Ford announced that Ontario is investing $42 million through the Canada Ontario Housing Benefit (COHB) program to support impacted municipalities across the province in providing urgent assistance to a rapidly growing number of asylum claimants.

The City of Cornwall was allocated $249,800.
