Toronto officials are taking applications until Friday for city council’s new “Black-mandated” shelter.

The new shelter will help make services “reflective of the diversity of the city,” a city document says.

The document says the shelter should house roughly 70 to 100 people, and “accommodate all clients within the applicable sector”.

The winning applicant will be picked this year , with an opening date expected between 2028 and 2030 .

Plans for the B3 shelter were mentioned in shelter services’ recently released 2024 annual report.

The report hints at the division’s focus on race.

A recent survey of people in and around the shelter system found that of the 6% of respondents who think Toronto 's homelessness services have improved in the last five years , 66% said services are worse.
