Home Safe Toronto is the second in the Sky Works series of documentaries
that deals with how Canadian families live with the threat and the
experience of homelessness.

It shows how the housing crisis in Canada is an expression of the increasing
economic and job insecurity that has devastated the manufacturing sector in
the greater Toronto area and throughout southern Ontario.

The film reveals the consequences of this "new economy," where families
surviving on low wages with no benefits, or on dwindling social assistance,
are faced with the terrible choice between keeping a roof over their heads
or putting food on the table.
