Fed Housing Advocate @HousingLogement has pulled the alarm. Homeless encampments aren't just a local issue. Fed housing Minister @SeanFraserMP must roll up his sleeves + use fed spending + convening powers to create a plan to solve this. Read it here: housingchrc.ca/en/publication…
Yesterday, the Federal Housing Advocate (@HousingLogement) released her final report on encampments. This is an historic moment that shifts the focus to identifying encampments as a human rights crisis and residents as rights holders: housingchrc.ca/en/publication… A THREAD 🧵...
The Federal Housing Advocate's new report on encampments is a historic moment for advancing the human right to housing in Canada. Concrete measures must be taken by all levels of govt to offer encampment residents adequate & permanent housing solutions as rapidly as possible.

🔔NEW: Advancing the #Right2Housing requires community participation. 🔍In our latest report, we show how a $4.5M federal fund can resource more rights-holders & civil society to identify systemic housing issues & help craft solutions: housingrights.ca/resourcing-rig… #FundRightsHolders
Big update, friends. The Busby Centre has agreed to move their outreach program from a waterfront parking lot, so council is expected to refer Bills 67 & 68 back to staff tonight, as the bylaw is no longer needed. Still processing this tbh, but we'll take the reprieve!
So much wrong w/ @cityofbarrie’s proposed bylaw. Further stigmatizes + discriminates vs. ppl experiencing homelessness; criminalizes charitable provision of necessities of life + abandons homeless ppl to a broken system. Read our #humanrights urgent note make-the-shift.org/wp-content/upl…
❗NEWS: #Barrie is set to pass a by-law that would prohibit the distribution of tents, food & groceries in public spaces w/o a permit. The Federal Housing Advocate (@HousingLogement) has written an open letter to Mayor Alex Nuttal expressing concern: housingchrc.ca/en/open-letter…
CAEH and @SCATEH have set up a tool to help send a letter to #Barrie City Council and denounce the cruel by-law which would make it an offence to help people experiencing homelessness. Send a letter ⬇️ action.caeh.ca/barrie

In the 3 years the Act has been in place, the government has not revised the National #Housing Strategy to comply with this obligation and has been failing to uphold housing as a #humanright in this country. This needs to change. Add your name and send a letter to your MP!

"Housing is not a commodity, it's a human right... And the National Housing Strategy belongs to all of us. So we need to demand that it work for us. It will take all of us to make the #right2housing real." - @HousingLogement #CAEH22
Honoured to welcome our ally, #right2housing champion, and Federal Housing Advocate, Marie-Josée Houle, to the stage for a powerful first plenary speech at #CAEH22 👏🏾
I'm speaking tomorrow on Bill C-31 at the Standing Senate Ctte on Finance re: @ubcHART with Garima from @maytree_canada on behalf of @R2HNetwork. When we talk about CERB being a great natural experiment in the impact of basic annual income on housing need, this is what we mean.
Yes it is crushing. Yet, what @cmckenney stands for, how they campaigned & the vision they helped us all believe in has ignited something I’ve not felt in #Ottawa before. We will be a just, sustainable, inclusive city. That dream didn't end tonight; it is just getting going.
