The Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) is an agency set up by the City of Toronto to provide a home to some of the city's most vulnerable people. With 60,000 apartments, townhouses and houses, the Corporation is the largest provider of social housing in Canada. Many of the buildings are run down and in dire need of repair. During a review of properties across the city, W-FIVE found leaky roofs, crumbling walls and apartments filled with bedbugs and cockroaches. But the shocking state of disrepair of the buildings isn't the only concern that many tenants are forced to live with. There is an even deadlier side. Captured recently by TCHC's own security cameras was graphic footage of an incident that made headlines across the country - a shooting that left an 18-year-old boy dead and five others injured - right on TCHC property. W-FIVE has discovered this is far from an isolated incident. In fact in the past three-and-a-half-years there have been 81 murders that have occurred on or near TCHC property - one-third of the murders in Toronto during that period.
