The shoveled pathways and wooden stoops lend a real neighbourhood feel to this small gathering of huts located on the western edge of St. James Park in the heart of downtown Toronto. The huts are actually portable emergency shelters created by Tiny Tiny Homes to provide a safer alternative to tent living for those experiencing homelessness. The gathering of neat little homes isn't without controversy however as the shelters were placed without City approval and there is a push to have them removed. It seems they'll stay in place for at least a while longer however as Mayor Olivia Chow has intervened, hoping to find a resolution that benefits everyone.
