One of the things I most often hear from communities struggling with growing encampments is a desire to do the right thing, but they’re not sure how. @CAEHomelessness is working on a series of stories on effective, housing focused encampment resolutions to offer some ideas.
As police-led encampment clearings become more common across Canada, we're highlighting approaches to encampment resolution that aren't just evictions to nowhere. Read about the housing-focused resolution of Vancouver's Oppenheimer Park Encampment: loom.ly/J6ewUpM

"it's "just wrong on so many levels" to move people during winter from a site where they have electricity, heat, security, and community. "This is inhumane. This is a catastrophe." atlantic.ctvnews.ca/deadline-to-va…
“We collectively don't consider people who are homeless as part of our community and I think that happens in part … because we don't like having to bear witness to the suffering, trauma and the loss of dignity we have created in 30 years of policy decisions we've made,” Dej said
