Origin
Summary
In October 2015, Toronto City Council approved the City of Toronto Refugee Resettlement Program. The Toronto Newcomer Office (TNO) is coordinating City divisions and partners to implement the Program.
The Program aims to mobilize existing supports within and outside of City structures, and facilitate enhancements where needed. The City is playing three key roles:
1. Coordination Role: Coordinating municipal services with community-based settlement services, with the other orders of government, and other partners.
2. Enhancement Role: Using Council-directed resources to enhance community-based support in key areas.
3. Integration Role: Once they arrive, the new Torontonians will have the ability to access most of the same City services that all other residents have access to. The sponsors will fulfill the refugees’ most urgent needs such as housing, clothing and food.
This report provides an update on the implementation of the City of Toronto Refugee Resettlement Program.
