Two years ago, our organizations released The Hidden Epidemic: A Report on Child and Family Poverty in Toronto, which documented the high level of child and family poverty in the City of Toronto and the widespread lack of access by children to decent housing, food, recreation and learning opportunities. This new report constitutes our first comprehensive update of The Hidden Epidemic. It reflects our ongoing commitment to monitor the level of poverty among children and families in Toronto, which we consider to be crucial given the importance of adequate income to the health and development – and success – of children.
