Ontario Sert inti Tv »* Speaker Discusses Housing Shortage Temporary shelter is becoming becoming a permanent form of housing for many Ontario residents, according to the Director Hostel Services for the Durham Region. Ed Goerz discussed local aspects of Ontario's housing crisis at this month's meeting meeting of the Bowmanville Men's Canadian Club. Mr. Goerz told his audience audience that a common pattern of hostel use seems to occur. Men first come to a hostel because of some crisis in their lives -- often something related to employment. Some may have been recently recently released from a hospital hospital or correctional institution institution while others have lost their accommodation due to eviction or a rent increase. Factors such as physical or mental illness, drug or alcohol alcohol addiction may also contribute to the crisis. A recent report commissioned commissioned by the government of Ontario revealed that over 200,000 households in Ontario Ontario are caught in the cycle of homelessness. Mr. Goerz noted that a number of changes have been recommended for the hostel shelter system. These include improved staff-resident ratios and an emphasis on helping people to find permanent housing. Higher physical standards and the elimination of large dormitories were also recommended. recommended. Mr. Goerz noted that all of these requirements have been met in Hostel Services' new facility in Oshawa. The building, formerly the Salvation Army Citadel, has been renovated at a cost of $2.4 million. Purchased in 1987 and renovated during a yearlong yearlong project, the new Hostel Services facilities include a complete range of housing options. There arc 16 rent- geared-to-income apartments apartments for single males, two two-bedroom apartments and four rooms (10 beds) for use by men "in transition". For short-term emergency stays there are a further 30 beds provided at the new building. In addition, there is a "Drop in Centre" for individuals individuals "on the street".
