Op-ed: The City of Toronto is using doublespeak to reinforce its powers to exclude unhoused people from public space, writes @estair and @alexandraeflynn: ow.ly/zLju50FkhmO

Op-ed: Toronto uses doublespeak to remove encampment residents from parks | NOW Toronto

The city claims that parks are "private property" and “trespassers” can be removed, but its powers are not grounded in private ownership

Good news: #Ldnont has achieved a ground-breaking milestone of functionally ending veteran homelessness. We are grateful to our veterans for their service to 🇨🇦. We will continue to work to ensure every Veteran has a safe & affordable place to call home. caeh.ca/london-solves-vet-ho…

There’s a big difference between telling people to ‘stay home’ and actually supporting people to stay home*. *also get a home.

3/ We also now see what we've feared is true: people experiencing homelessness are especially vulnerable - they're 20x more likely to be hospitalized for COVID-19, over 10x more likely to need ICU & they're over 5x more likely to die. cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/o…

We'll keep connecting people to food, social supports, and resources during lockdown. Here’s what’s open, and what we’ll need, for the next few weeks at The Stop.

Today is #NationalHousingDay. Tenants are facing evictions during a pandemic. Many are experiencing homelessness. Shelters are full. Encampments grow. And corporate landlords continue to reap large profits. When will Canada truly recognize that housing is a human right? #cdnpoli

Today we reflect on what it means to enter a second wave—and another lockdown starting tomorrow—if a person does not have a safe, dignified home. We call on our governments to prioritize housing, as now more than ever, #HousingMatters. #onpoli #topoli #cdnpoli

When a client found out that he won’t live to see another winter, he was torn. With every winter, it gets harder to be homeless. When asked about palliative care, he said he wants to pass in the streets surrounded by others who are homeless – surrounded by family.

This city was due for a good vocal protest on homelessness. Thanks @ESN_TO for all you do.

The City’s response to #COVID19 has highlighted the urgency to make investments in safe, secure and affordable housing to help manage the challenges associated with the pandemic while also creating solutions that will support people and future generations to come.

This plan is based on strong social, public health and economic fundamentals. Moving 3,000 people out of shelters and into permanent housing with supports could save approx. $180 M / year and reduce the strain to healthcare, long-term care and justice systems.
