When people need to escape violence, transition and second-stage housing offer short-term respite. But without long-term housing, survivors are left without options, forcing them to return to abuse. Help us advocate for long-term, safe, and secure housing. bit.ly/3wvjina

ICYMI: Earlier this month, we were at the BC Supreme Court for a human rights decision review with the power to impact how families seek remedies for discrimination by child welfare agencies. Read more about this important case: bit.ly/3sr7fZh

To sign the open letter this week, please use this link: bit.ly/3QPp4sY. There is no time to lose, as the bill could be adopted any day now. #TentCities #HumanRights #RespectOurUnhousedNeighbours /3 of 3

Among other problems, the bill fails to consider practical barriers to shelter accessibility, the rights of Indigenous peoples, or the need for daytime shelter & storage. And government did not consult impacted communities about the text of the bill before introducing it. /2 of 3

We are proud to be among more than 60 signatories to an open letter to the BC government, demanding withdrawal of a bill that will undermine the rights of people living in homeless encampments. #BCPoli #Housing #Encampments /1 of 3 bit.ly/3SVoCvU

Thanks @BCNPHA for including us as presenters at Housing Central. Together with Chelsea & Sarah from @AuntLeahs, Katt from UNDU, & Patricia from Red Willow, we presented on intersections between the family policing system & housing insecurity/inaccessibility. Powerful day!

Communities are gathering today to honour lives tragically lost to transphobic (& often transmisogynist & racist) violence, & to call for justice. This article lists 5 events happening in BC today, in person & online. Thank you to the organizers. #TDOR bit.ly/3upHdGt

CW: mentions of transphobia and violence . . . On #TransDayOfRemembrance, we remember and mourn the lives taken by transphobic violence. A minimum 320 trans people have been killed in 2023 worldwide. May their lives never be forgotten.🩵🤍🩷 #TDOR

ICYMI: 1/3 of Metro Vancouver families make less than a living wage. While government has been emphasizing stats showing BC has the highest average wage in Canada, economist Iglika Ivanova of @CCPA_BC point outs that this "the story of inequality." bit.ly/47rpZq8
