Hi everyone!!!

I had a story/blog published on the Mighty yesterday, I speak reflectively through an experiential lens to the covid crisis on how it affects individuals living in the North who struggle with poverty, mental illness and food insecurity. FYI there is a small trigger warning on it. Very real talk about the crisis some individuals like myself are facing.

Does anyone know if any aggregated data or analysis has been published for Ontario's 2018 Homelessness Enumeration? 

I have only been able to find publications from individual municipalities.

Thank you
