Daily Occupancy & Capacity

Daily shelter occupancy and capacity for Toronto’s shelter system, updated every day from the City of Toronto’s open data.

BonQuery’s version of this table adds two features the City’s page doesn’t have. The date selector below lets you browse any date from January 2021 to the present; the City’s Daily Shelter & Overnight Service Usage page shows only its most recently published date. The Offline column (calculated as funded − actual) flags beds, rooms, or spaces temporarily out of service — see the data validation page for what these are and why they matter.

Daily Occupancy & Capacity for

This table reproduces the City of Toronto’s Daily Shelter & Overnight Service Usage report using the City’s open data. The All Shelter Programs subtotal and all breakdown rows are derived from the CKAN open data export. Bridging & Triage Programs are tracked in the City’s operational system but not published to open data; BonQuery scrapes this figure daily from the City’s shelter census page and displays it where available. The Total People Accommodated figure equals All Shelter Programs + Bridging & Triage when both are available. Some capacity and unoccupied-bed figures may differ slightly from the City’s live dashboard due to offline-bed reporting differences between the CKAN export and the City’s operational system. A full side-by-side comparison is available on the data validation page.
