Youth aging out of care is the most vulnerable population at risk of homelessness as a result of COVID-19. The sector recommends a staggering approach of youth aging out post-pandemic as service providers will not have the capacity to support this larger cohort. MCFD must continue providing the low-barrier Agreements with Young Adults to help bridge youth into safe and secure housing.

Recommendation 10:
Undertaking strategic clean growth assessments. Several governments in Canada require policy proposals to include a strategic environmental assessment. The federal government has also developed a climate lens for major public investments in infrastructure. It is worth exploring an expansion of these tools to explicitly incorporate a broader set of criteria linked to clean growth objectives. For example, while an infrastructure project would naturally consider general economic objectives, it might not consider low-carbon growth objectives. A low-carbon growth lens could lead to a greater emphasis on “enabling” infrastructure investments that support low-carbon technology development and adoption.
