Cochrane District has Ontario's highest homelessness rate: report
A new report from Ontario's financial watchdog found the Cochrane District had the province's highest homelessness rate in 2024-25, at 1,097 per 100,000 residents. Officials point to poverty and affordability as the main drivers, as Ontario's overall homelessness rate rose 23 per cent over four years. Lydia Chubak reports.
