Halifax council approves Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Centre’s affordable housing plan halifaxexaminer.ca/city-hall/hali… by @zwoodford
"We need to do something about the private housing market as the root cause of the housing crisis. It is no coincidence that rental companies like CAPREIT reported continued growth the same year that homelessness doubled." via @SolidarityHFX #nspoli springmag.ca/understanding-…
Homelessness is not the result of an individual's failures. It is the result of society's failures.
eventbrite.ca/e/virtual-harm… Get your virtual tickets to Atlantic Canada’s best #DrugPolicy Symposium, the 3rd Annual #HarmReduction symposium called “Times Up” will connect folks in the Atlantic Region doing this crucial life saving work. Save the date and don’t miss out!
Important letter release from my colleagues at OTC
Important letter release from my colleagues at OTC
Such great book! Since receiving it, I’ve cited it in almost every single one of my projects and assignments.
People sleeping in parkades while hundreds of hotel rooms sit empty should embarrass all of us.
Feeling defeated and angry. A day after #NovaScotia announces a minimum wage increase to $12.95/hr, reading of a new development in North Dartmouth. Units will be affordable to people making b/w $25 and $31.25/hr. Housing is a basic right NOT a commodity. #Affordablehousing? NOT.
A homeless shelter and tent is setup at the Old Central Library. @globalhalifax
Let these numbers sink in. Almost 500 people in HRM are now experiencing #homelessness, 375 for 6 MONTHS or longer. They include 93 women, 62 families (most single mother led), and an overrepresentation of Indigenous persons and of African descent. @StephenMcNeil #nspoli #housing

"If there is anything COVID-19 has taught us, it is that housing means more than just a physical space: it lays the foundation for our safety, security, and dignity."

The federal money announced for #Halifax this week of $8.7 million may not even replace the affordable homes being lost, let alone help to address folks already living in Core Housing Need. #housing #right2housing #affordablehousing @StephenMcNeil @MikeSavageHFX @ahansnovascotia

Over the next few days we'll be distributing backpacks and supplies to folks who are sleeping outside around HRM. We could definitely use more water resistant gloves and mittens - visit welcomehousing.ca for more info or drop off @ 2330 Gottingen St. #HousingForAll #Halifax
Your reminder that while you are debating turning on the heat in the mornings and getting out the sweaters there are 50+ people sleeping outside because they do not have housing right here in Halifax. @StephenMcNeil @MikeSavageHFX @NS_DCS #housingisahumanright #homelessness #hfx

We just want #WorldHomelessDay to mean something, for everyone to have safe secure housing. It's a basic human right and it's health care. And it can keep families together, to be the safe landing at the end of each day. #housing #home #Halifax #nspoli
The community pop up sheltered 29 people last night. Grateful for this initiative, and Michelle's explanation in this video, but truly #affordablehousing is what's needed to end homelessness. #housing #halifax @CTVAtlantic atlantic.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2…
We can choose to spend $7 billion annually in “managing” homelessness, or we can invest in prevention measures like an acquisition strategy to stop the bleeding.
I can name 29 people sleeping in tents or on benches right now on the peninsula alone. How many people are sleeping rough that I don't know? When will @NS_DCS @HousingNS admit there is a homelessness crisis and start to act to house these people? We need affordable housing now!
Awesome thread on harm reduction thinking, for health professionals (like me). We can’t simply restrict our thinking to certain prescribing interventions. We need to understand and work to change context/setting/policy to promote health & reduce harms

#HarmReduction saved my life but #SafeSupply would have prevented me from being #incarcerated with a criminal record, contracting #HepatitisC and experiencing #Homelessness. #SafeSupply is the first step in someone’s continuum of care that keeps them alive to be linked to care!
