“People living in encampments are not a political problem, they are human beings who deserve to be treated with respect and dignity” - @SeanFraserMP #CAEH23
#caeh24 "There are too many people living without a home in a country as wealthy as Canada..." -Minister Sean Fraser
Thrilled to be with @CAEHomelessness in Kjipuktuk for #CAEH23 on Indigenous Veterans Day.
Grateful to be part of important conversation today.
Q: What is the goal of Upstream Canada? A: The goal of this program model is to prevent #YouthHomelessness, and in doing so, support at-risk students in their educational opportunities and outcomes. Learn more: bit.ly/3B0Twcl
last day!
Shaming people who are experiencing homelessness does absolutely nothing except create stigma and discrimination. Hate the policies that create homeless, not the people who are facing the consequences of those policies.
🎥 NEW VIDEO: As Canada faces a new wave of homelessness driven by inflation, we're calling on the federal government to implement a new Homelessness Prevention and Housing Benefit. Find out more and take action ➡️ action.caeh.ca/hphb
Canada is on the brink of a homelessness crisis, the scale of which we’ve never seen. Tell @PierrePoilievre & @theJagmeetSingh to call for action and keep nearly half a million Canadians in from the cold. action.caeh.ca/hphb-singh-poi…

Join @CAEHomelessness’s call on the federal gov't to introduce a new Homelessness Prevention and Housing Benefit that would provide up to 435,000 people experiencing homelessness or housing precarity with targeted rent support. Learn more & take action! action.caeh.ca/hphb
I've emailed my MP asking them to support @CAEHomelessness' call to introduce a new Homelessness Prevention and Housing Benefit. Will you join me? action.caeh.ca/hphb
It is infuriating, as a I move across the country training staff, Team Leads, Managers, and Executives working to end homelessness, how often I hear that they can't refer the people they are trying to help to any mental health supports because they are "in active addiction"
@KahlonRav @Dave_Eby Congratulations! We look forward to talking with you about the need for a youth housing strategy and working with you to implement affordable housing for all.
Fantastic few days in Yellowknife. Met some great people. Thanks for the hospitality! See you next time.
"Modern mass homelessness is 100% the result of public policy." -Armine Yalnizyan #CAEH22
Incredible finale to a great conference. Armine Yalnizyan speaks truth to power. #CAEH22
Call outs are a tactic of a last result. Invest in relationship instead. Loretta Ross' keynote is wonderful food for thought. #CAEH22

BC is the wild west of unregulated supportive housing. There is no procedural justice for those who are evicted. There's no avenue to argue the facts. As evictions can be life and death events, there should be a tribunal, an arbitrator, an ombudsperson or - heck even rules!
