Here's what ending #homelessness means from the perspective of someone's firsthand experience: bit.ly/2jC7KfE
The forced eviction of #homeless encampments w/out consulting the residents + w/out ensuring they have access to emergency + long term adequate housing is contrary to the city's int'l #humanrights oblgtns as well as its housing Charter. @anabailaoTO @kristynwongtam @gordperks
No amount of spin or rehearsed talking points can change the fact that the shelters in Toronto are completely full and there aren't any housing options available. cp24.com/video?clipId=1…

Norma-Jean talking to @cbcottawa about Ford's 2.2% rent increase - the highest in 5 yrs: "This xmas was difficult. 45% of our budget is housing. Any more of a rent increase would mean cutting into food, clothing & transportation." #RentControl #VacancyControl #AffordableHousing
Day 18/100 #OurLandsOurHands On #HumanRightsDay, #IndigenousHousing+service providers from across Canada met to discuss the #Right2Housing. They created a list of demands and challenged the federal gov't to take action in the first 100 days of office. #ForIndigenousByIndigenous

Today’s #Right2Housing victory goes to the @UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural rights who ruled that the forced eviction resulting in #homelessness of a mother and her 6 kids is a clear violation of the #HumanRight to housing! Read More: ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/…
Just a reminder that we have four cases (not including the human rights case) against @TimbercreekAM going to trial in 2020. But our legal defence fund has almost run out, so we still need supporters to donate! gofundme.com/f/herongate-le…

There are 995 names on Toronto’s homeless memorial. “Toronto Public Health estimates that two people die homeless each week. They also report that the median age of those who die homeless is 49.” thestar.com/opinion/contri…
MOSH is such an essential part of the Halifax community. Thank you to MOSH & all who work to care for members of our community who experience homelessness & precarious housing, throughout the year.
Thinking of you who struggle through the year, including the holidays. Thank you to those working frontline and the kindness that helps. Have a safe and peace-filled season #Halifax
“Most cases of injury & death due 2 cold occur in moderate winter weather”. Makes sense. Try walking around 2night & it’s freezing @ only -10. If u stand still is unbearable. We need warning centres & we need them opened now. It’s inhumane 2 leave ppl outside in these conditons
This has policy implications for cities.
Excellent work by @tom_cardoso & @shanedingman “The investigation reveals an increasingly corporatized rental housing market that thrives on maximum unit turnover by any means necessary” theglobeandmail.com/canada/toronto…
Gonna be a cold one! #Halifax Warming Centre is OPEN today Thurs. Dec. 19th @ 12 pm till 8:30 pm at St. Matthew’s on Barrington. Come join us for a hot drink in a safe, warm space. We’re at 1479 Barrington St in Halifax, in the basement. #homelessness #housing #communitycare
