| Abstract: | The article reports that the findings of a survey of family service workers at the Children's Aid Society of Metropolitan Toronto found that in 18.4% of the cases the family's housing situation was one of the factors that resulted in temporary placement of a child into care in Toronto, Ontario. The findings show that 8.6% of the cases the return home of a child was delayed due to a housing-related problem. The survey indicates that Metropolitan Toronto's housing situation is having a detrimental impact on the well-being of a considerable number of families with children. |
