Two midtown apartment buildings currently being utilized as emergency homeless housing will be vacated this week, the City of Toronto confirmed.
The complexes have been used to house up to 150 homeless residents since May, as part of the city's plan to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in homeless shelters.
According to CP24, the buildings will be demolished due to a leasing agreement with the developer.
