The Ontario government’s proposed Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act (Bill 60) is not just a bill; it's a ticking time bomb that will accelerate evictions and push more people with disabilities into homelessness, the ODSP ActionCoalition warns.
The group says 70 per cent of Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) recipients rely on private market rentals, leaving them highly vulnerable in an increasingly unaffordable housing market.
“Bill 60 is a direct attack on the most vulnerable Ontarians at the worst possible time,” Ron Anicich, co-chair of the ODSP ActionCoalition, said in a release. “While this bill is being sold as a way to build housing faster, it will actually make it far easier to evict people with disabilities from their homes and push thousands more of us onto the streets.”
