  • Acute drug toxicity was the leading cause of death in the first half of last year for just over half of all reported deaths in people experiencing homelessness.

    Unknown or pending explanations made up the second leading cause of death at 26 per cent, while diseases like cancer, chronic alcohol use, pneumonia, and others were listed as the reason for seven per cent of unhoused deaths in the city during that time frame.

    I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that homeless women are even more vulnerable than homeless men. I think it’s less likely to be a case of the state providing preferential treatment.
