Scarborough’s Micro-Shelter Breakthrough | Toronto News

In Scarborough, a groundbreaking micro-shelter community is rising—ten cozy, pet-friendly units with essentials like beds, microwaves, and fridges, plus shared spaces and on-site staff to help homeless residents step toward permanent housing. Built on land leased for just $1 annually by a local bakery owner who saw the chance to do good, the $350,000 project is being funded entirely through private donations, with businesses and individuals already donating materials and labor. The community’s response has been heartwarming, with locals rallying behind the effort and city officials reviewing the initiative as Toronto considers its own pilot program. Despite no official green light yet, Tiny Tiny Homes is racing against winter to get the shelters ready—determined to act while staying open to collaboration.
