According to the government website, it says:
Historically, asylum claimants made up just 4 to 5% of the shelter population. By late 2023, they accounted for approximately 71%, nearly three out of every four individuals in the system. This surge pushed Peel's shelter capacity to over 400%, requiring Peel Region to secure overflow hotel spaces to meet the growing demand.
Is it correct that Peel has had to use overflow hotel spaces because the shelter system was overwhelmed by the sharp increase in asylum claimants?
