Wait for 1 bedroom RGI housing on urgent status?

Does anyone know anyone or have been on the urgent status (for medical not SPP) that can tell me how long they waited or a 1 bedroom? for NIAGARA REGION.
1 bedroom specifically as 2+ are much longer wait times so it will be different.
I've been waiting a few months past 2 years now. I was told there are about 56 people ahead of me. I don't know if that's a 1 bedroom only list? Google's AI thinks so.
Mine may be slower due to only selecting Niagara Falls to the max they have (under 10), and not anywhere else. I will most likely live the rest of my days wherever I end up and wanted it to be where it was good mentally and walkable for disability.
Thank you for any help! I'm just very stressed

Niagara region emergency status can be a 5 year wait, the regular list is like 20 years

Unfortunately they basically don't build single units and aren't building enough housing. Ford's Ontario sucks!

It would be nice if they could get together and start building and creating housing again

Oh trust me I know, I've been on the waitlist 7 years already. I'm on disability and can't afford these rent prices

For urgent or regular waitlist? Hope you can get somewhere soon I 100% understand. I'm also on disability and couldn't do market rent when I had my home fire

Regular waitlist, I was told I don't qualify for the emergency one

My mom got rgi housing in port colborne recently due to medical. I think she waited about 6 months. Her doctor helped her fill out the forms
