Recently released data for the first six months of 2024 from Toronto Public Health has found that the median age of death for women experiencing homelessness in the city is just 36.
In 2022, unhoused women who died in Toronto were on average 42 years old. That number was 43 in 2023.
The median age at death for men experiencing homelessness in the first half of 2024 was 50.
Torontonians residents, in general, live much longer with men typically dying at the age of 78 and women at the age of 85, according to 2022 data.
What is it anywhere else? Just feels like there’s negative Canada news being plastered everywhere since the Trump bullshit started.
I don’t think it has anything to do with Trump, you might’ve jus been missing it. I’ve been working near a homeless shelter for years. It’s been bad for a long while, and has just been worsening. The way we treat homeless people is really fucked, especially since it could be any one of us.
