Homelessness in Canada: Toronto man fears shelter system but can’t get help without it

Peter Necheff was born and grew up in Corktown, raised by his parents to be kind.
He worked as a shoeshine boy, then sold newspapers and took on his first full-time job at 15 years old.
“I’m a Toronto boy,” said the 61-year-old.
Twelve years ago, Necheff damaged his heart and his kidneys by taking too much Ibuprofen as he struggled to handle the pain from work injuries. His cardiologist told him he’d have to reduce how much he worked, something he struggled to do.
Then, three months ago, the housing set-up with a roommate who had been with him through the pandemic fell apart, and he found himself without a home.
