Samu has been in Canada for one year and eight months, experiencing difficulty landing a job β€” especially without a permanent address.

This is an issue we had with a tiny home pilot in Kingston. A permanent address is critical to being allowed to participate in society. The tiny homes did not provide a permanent address. So whole it solved some aspects of homelessness, it missed the mark on this one.

I hope this Toronto project was able to get addresses.

Why wasn't an address provided? I'm not familiar with Kingston's pilot, but the social service department of most cities have solved this pretty simple problem by either renting a PO Box or using their own address. Sure, people in the know recognize the address but at least people can receive their mail.
