Ontario child protection agencies are warehousing young people in motels, hotels, and short-term rentals
On the tenth annual Children and Youth in Care Day, dozens of young people in the care of the province’s Children’s Aid Society agencies will be going to sleep in motels, hotels, and short-term rentals because there aren’t enough foster beds or treatment facilities. One of them, a young person with autism, has been living in an agency’s office for months.
