Ottawa needs to lead an all-out national effort to preserve, renovate and build affordable housing. October 24, 2023, 7 pm, Jacob Gorenkoff of the Canadian Housing and Renewal Association will explore what we need from Ottawa. Learn more eventbrite.com/e/housing-affo…
Confirming what we see, the city just posted its July count of homeless individuals: a stunning 1,985. That's up 250 from the previous high a month earlier. And 701 of those people have been homeless for more than six months, up more than 100 from the previous high in April.
Homelessness in Hamilton has hit its highest level since the city started its by-name list: 1,732 people were known to be homeless at June 1. (This number is always a big undercount.) Shelter capacity is 285 beds for men, women and youth and 72 rooms for couples or families.
Encampment solutions start with #supportivehousing. @AndreaHorwath, please call a mtg w/@IndwellCA, @YWCA_Hamilton, @GoodShepherdHam, and #Sacajawea; we've 400 apts that can start getting bldg pmts w/in 30 days, but we need Council's support to press Feds & Prov funds. @TheSpec
A bit of context: Tomorrow's Emergency and Community Services Committee agenda says province will provide $10 million and $12 million in the next two years for housing construction or renovation. The average annual provincial funding for the three years pre-Ford was $21 million.

.@s_guilbeault the world is watching your actions at #COP27. I call on you to commit to a fossil fuel phase-out — and when you get home, to fight for a strong Emissions Cap that curbs Big Oil’s pollution. x.com/leadnowca/stat…

Are these even legal? More, are these humans not owed the decency of an actual name ?
@LauraBabcock @AndreaHorwath Their own protocol and the National Protocol municipalities must abide by require outreach, offering support, housing alternatives. An identity/name is a precondition to any of this. Shelters/housing services are searchable by name.
@JasonThorne_RPP Be nice to know what percentage of those multi unit buildings are purpose built rentals as opposed to purchasable condos.
Oh so much journalism on this file, story by story from multiple outlets, with some, including @TorontoStar and @thenarwhalca from the beginning. Reporting matters.

🤯 I'm downtown and so many people are homeless and suffering and our City Manager wants to spend 50k on a CONSULTANT to study councillor's office budgets? Can't one of her 8000 staff do that? What the hell is Janette Smith thinking when our tax dollars could help people!#HamOnt
