Richard Todd’s “Forgotten Homeless Project” Shines a Light on Toronto’s Growing Crisis
Toronto musician and social activist Richard Todd is using the power of music to fight one of the city’s most urgent challenges — homelessness. Through his new initiative, The Forgotten Homeless Project, Todd brings together 12 powerful voices in a moving new anthem, “The Forgotten Homeless.” Every stream and download supports WoodGreen Community Services’ Unmet Needs Campaign, providing vital aid to those living on Toronto’s streets.
This isn’t Todd’s first act of compassion. His earlier project, Warm It Up, reached over 3,000 people by distributing coffee cards and warm socks to individuals experiencing homelessness. Now, he’s taking that grassroots mission to the next level — raising awareness, funds, and hope through music.
With homelessness in Toronto doubling from 7,000 to more than 15,000 people in just five years, Todd says the city needs long-term, community-driven solutions — not temporary fixes. “We can’t look away anymore,” he insists. “It’s time to remember the forgotten.”
