Her Excellency the @GGCanada has granted Royal Assent to Bill #C29, as amended, which will take effect once the @HoCChamber has been advised: ow.ly/Y4JA50RsKo8 #SenCA #CdnPoli
The latest health data is astounding. The average hospital visit for a patient surviving homelessness is ~17,000. The average cost for supportive housing per month is $3,500. Housing for all is a matter of human dignity and sound economics.

#DYK that many young people who lose their housing do so because of conflict with their families? Check out this blog that summarizes some of the key points of session 3 of our Prevention Matters! series: bit.ly/3U6LWGd #YouthHomelessness

#DYK: youth who age out of the child protection system abruptly lose support from the state, regardless of their readiness or emotional/financial needs? This leads to an increased risk of experiencing #homelessness, poverty, and unemployment. Learn more: bit.ly/3svPW9s
NEWS: "For youth in care, becoming an adult is like plunging over a precipice. Unlike their peers w/ families to cushion the crises of young adulthood, few foster care alumni make it to college, university or into stable jobs." SOURCE: ow.ly/OYIX50QZ2zg #YouthHomelessness
Woke up thinking about interviews I did yesterday for #TVOTheThread @tvo with women who are now housed but lived in encampments. One said 'We are one of the most marginalized & vulnerable groups'. Yet one of the most feared I added. 1/
NEWS: "Most responses to #homelessness have more in common with emergency intervention rather than prevention... We need to be looking further upstream. It's not something that comes out of the blue." SOURCE: ow.ly/KjbN50QHiur #prevention
Essential workers in Toronto earn between $40,000 and $60,000 a year—too much to apply for social housing, but too little to afford a decent place to live in a city that has become one of the priciest real-estate markets in the world: macleans.ca/society/worker…

Meaningful engagement must replace forced evictions in encampment responses. The Advocate’s report underscores the importance of involving encampment residents in designing alternatives. We must prioritize their voices for lasting solutions. More ➡️ bit.ly/3SQqB4k

The active 🏗️construction of #AffordableHousing in #Ottawa ! This site is Mosaïq Ottawa by @OCH_LCO @ArrivProperties at 820 Gladstone Ave. It just broke ground on Oct 16, 2023. The building of 273 homes 🏘️ 👇
It was so great getting to speak on a panel at @queensu Model Parliament! Really enjoyed getting to talk to students about being a staffer and the world of political consulting.
‘Frustrating and deadly’: How the extreme cold is hitting Canada’s homeless | Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/10235191/…
Evicting #encampments doesn't suddenly make people housed; it just means time, money, and resources are wasted to commit atrocious harm and violate people's rights, all while forcing them into less visible and more dangerous spaces outdoors. theprovince.com/opinion/op-ed/…
It's weird and profoundly cruel that we've come to accept homelessness deaths each winter as if they're just the 'cost of doing business.' It's like treating it as a part of winter instead of recognizing it as a policy choice.

Such excitement to be at the senate this evening when Bill C-29 for the creation of the National Council for Reconciliation receiving royal assent. @gary_srp Senator Michelle Audette, @seblemire
Homelessness in high income nations is a function of how effectively the state responds to the inflationary pressure of housing. Canada has a lot of work to do to ensure that deeply affordable housing is more readily available:
In this statistic, I am satisfied that we are at the bottom. Regardless, a lot of work needs to be done in Finland and globally. #endhomelessness
While low-barrier shelters do not mitigate the need for overarching housing reform, this article highlights ways that #HarmReduction shelters can be beneficial for women who would have otherwise been displaced by encampment sweeps. READ: bit.ly/4b8oUp4
