We couldn’t be more grateful and proud. Developing and running The Bridge is a huge privilege. Today marks a year since the shelter opened. We celebrate the amazing team, staff and clients who are in the space while we continue to work to realize housing for all.

If we really want to tackle this crisis & create housing that people can afford, here’s the ā€˜best advice’ from a province taking action: ā€œDon’t make it about left or right, bring everybody to the tableā€ incl non profits, homelessness activists & free market thinkers. #housing4all
How do you solve the biggest housing affordability crisis in North America? Thanks to @KahlonRav for chatting with us! youtu.be/snw6KtGBI9Y

This news fills us up. Seven clients supported by our outreach team signed leases this week. It’s wild and unusual. A good mixture of private, non profit and public housing. One of the seven has been staying in hotel for more than a year. We’re so excited for them all.

Dropped in to The Hub @ShelterNS to visit a few clients and saw this. Hot meals and drinks, showers and laundry service and great people supporting those who come in. Thanks for being a sanctuary from the cold this winter and making people feel at home.

Ultimately, voters don’t care who is responsible for which folder on the housing file. They care that they can’t find housing. @JustinTrudeau @SeanFraserMP thestar.com/opinion/star-col… via @torontostar
