launch a task force this fall that will attempt to come up with solutions to the regions growing homeless problem including finding ways of providirigmore affordable housing but social services commissioner joanri simmons admits the regions resources are limited so long as the province continues to force york tax payers to contribute 52 million a year toward torontols welfare costs arid 41 million annually toward the citys social housing costs tooling does obviously tie our hands as long as we have to keep sending so much money out of york region to address problems elsewhere it means its tougher for us to address problerns here she said its a major concern to make matters worse officials fear 1 1 million could be added to the regions annual pooling costs if anne goldens report on homelessness in toronto is adopted vj i0 in addition to its pooltogcomrmttnents region al taxpayers must also pay the 34million bill for social housing within yorks borders the province has given the region 300000 to help it cope with homelessness r at thursdays regional council meeting markham mayor don cousens suggested the region should lobby the provincial and federal gov- ernments to kick in funding to fight homelessness arid provide affordable housing i think we have a national crisis talking about the homeless is just another way of talking about our need for affordable housing he said adding the region should force queens park arid ottawa to address the issue in their trirorie speeches this fall torus to lobby for that now is ah important ingredient in making that happen tax pooling the 25member task force which is expected to get started in the fall and operate for 18 months comes on the heels of the regions first conference on homelessness which brought to light disturb ing inforriiation about the issue during a threemonth period last winter offi cials discovered almost 500 homeless people living in shelters cars and abandoned barns more thaft half the homeless are under the age of 25 more than a quarter are under the age of 16 between 1991 and 1996 lowincome families in york increased 114 per cent to 17820 up from 8340 the percentage of tenants paying 30 per cent or more of their income on housing increased from 31 per cent m 1991 to 42 per cent m 1996 the vacancy rate for rental accommodation is 08 per cent for apartments arid 03 per cent for sbcialhousing j since december 1997 there has been a 50per cent increase in the nufnber of people waiting for subsidized housirig meanwhile a report from the daily bread food bank indicates lowincdrrie residents in the 905 area code are spending riiore of their incomes on housingthan thdse in toronto leaving less rnoney for food clothing and other expenses despite the hurdles the task
