A young mother witnessed a violent crime while living in a Toronto Community Housing residence. Twice, Toronto Community Housing denied her application to move, revealed an ombudsman’s report released Friday. The report comes from an Ombudsman Toronto’s investigation into Toronto Community Housing’s safety at risk and medical priority transfer process. “The reasons Toronto Community Housing provided for denying the transfer (for the young mother) were vague and contradicted its own policy,” the ombudsman’s report said. “From the beginning to the end of the process, there are fairness problems.” Toronto Community Housing staff also makes inconsistent and arbitrary decisions in regards to the wait list, Opler said.
