Are Toronto's homeless really being offered help? Special

Toronto - Toronto Police are saying that the City of Toronto is working to help get the homeless shelter before the G20. That may not be the actual case on the street, a reporter finds.

On Saturday a group of homeless teens were asked about the G20 and if they had talked to the police about it. Of the three teens only one had been approached by the police and the message was not what's being told to the press. The young girl said that the police warned her not to be in the red zone or she would be arrested. She was not told about city programs in place that are helping the homeless get a home. The young girl was not even aware where she should not be here during the summit where world leaders will gather at the end of June in Toronto. On Friday the Integrated Security Unit outlined the security perimeters for the media. During that conference the homeless issue was addressed. Alphonse MacNeil, head of the Integrated Security Unit RCMP and Superintendent Tom Russell of Toronto Police Service, told reporters, "The ISU is concerned about the safety and security of our most vulnerable communities. We have been working with the City's Shelter, Support & Housing Administration to try and address the needs of our homeless community in address of the Summit. For safety reasons, members of the homeless community will not be permitted access into the security perimeter once it has been secured. Staff from Shelter, Support & Housing Administration has been using their resources and Streets-to-Homes program to encourage those most affected by these security perimeters to access services before the perimeter is secured."
