I don’t know who needs to hear this, but nobody corners the market on lived experience that counts.
Being a #housingfirst advocate is getting very lonely. No matter how good the results we keep being dragged back to “shelter first “ & “earn your housing first” despite dismal results from that approach. The failed examples given as justification were not real #housingfirst.
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
So this must mean there will imminently be affordable and supportive #housing, safer supply, detox, treatment beds and dry housing for everyone who needs it, right? Which is really what we have always needed to stop the harm.

Thanks @timescolonist and Dr. Heaslip for this article. It’s the only one I’ve seen that attempts to explain the why. There is so much misunderstanding. Many people may still disagree & demand better solutions but based on facts & not assumptions rooted in stigma.

The question everyone seems to be missing in this debate is why a health authority would do this. There’s a health risk they are mitigating that the medical system can’t address. Is it the best solution? Probably not but it’s better than death.

@lacaroibarra I think a lot of people need to hear that
Happy 1st Birthday to our Albina Housing Site! 📷 Yesterday, we celebrated a year of community and connection with a fantastic BBQ. Big thanks to the resident who brought out his DJ equipment, setting the perfect vibe with some great tunes. Here's to many more years of making…
ICYMI - Jasmine Campbell is back from maternity leave and will continue in her role as Director of Development. As Threshold continues to grow and evolve, we are happy to announce that Shannon Whissell will be staying on as the new Director of Strategic Relations.
I haven’t had a chance to run for the last couple of days. Back to regular programming. But seemed like a good day to wear my @madamepremier and @tamarataggart shirt 😘
This was actually my starting point into housing research. In my master’s thesis (U of T 1988) I wondered why ‘planning for violence prevention’ was all about street lights, rather than affordable housing & local women’s services. 36 years later, still wondering.
Accessible, affordable, secure HOUSING is a key DV PREVENTION strategy. If women can leave in the knowledge of housing security, & affordability, they will be safe. They will leave. I know this. And the perpetrators (or potential) perpetrators will come to know it too #DVenough
Truth …thank you @SilkenLaumann . #MentalHealthAwareness
People who struggle with their mental health are often also the people who are making things better for others. Advocating, educating, supporting, fighting for change. Our world is infinitely better because of these people. #MentalHealthAwareness
Clear blue skies remind me that well designed beautiful buildings play a key role in ending our homelessness crisis. #supportivehousing works now and for the long term, at far less cost than emergency responses. #hopeandhomes @IndwellCA

We are so thankful for the generous support of @RyanJabs of Lapis Homes to fund @WholeWayHouse community services at our Campbell Lodge site in Victoria. Seniors in our community deserve to age in place with dignity and community connection.
Happy to fund this pilot project in #yyj, partnering with @yyj_housing & @WholeWayHouse. Whole Way House's work creates communities in buildings and helps people live better, more socially connected lives and reduces costs for government. greatervichousing.org/news-blog/news…
This is brilliantly done. The solution is simple, let’s not overcomplicate it. #housingfirst
This is how we solve homelessness.
Here it is, my new chapter! I'm thrilled to join the talented team @thenarwhalca Looking forward to digging deeper into the big issues facing BC as we head into the next provincial election! #bcpoli

I sat down with Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau to talk housing. Are recent investments enough to help Canada's #housingcrisis? And why didn't the government take these measures years ago? We'll air the full interview on CBC Radio in Victoria on Monday morning. #cdnpoli
Excited by the updated #ReachingHome directives, esp. funding for preventing youth homelessness. Specifically naming Family & Natural Supports as an example is HUGE! It's nice to search a housing plan for the word "youth" and find it throughout! #YouthHousing #YouthHomelessness
@jfatkey speaking at #VIRENT in #CourtenayBC earlier today where several Pacifica Housing leaders & staff are in attendance for a day dedicated to #affordablehousing education. We are excited to implement our takeaways from today’s event 💪 Thanks @BCNPHA!
@ChamberVictoria @FortisBC Hopefully in the future Indigenous voices with lived experience will be invited to these tables. 🪶
@lacaroibarra @overloaded_writ I was surprised at the headline. I know when I worked for Pacifica housing in Nanaimo ( Nakeo) we had a rough start who was who . I knew 75% of tenants . It was built so fast and we set up rooms asap due to discontent city dissolving. its definitely 1 of the better sites.
Coroner data is clear – 7 people a day in BC are dying from toxic illicit drugs (primarily fentanyl), NOT diverted prescription medication. We need to focus on what is causing the most harm. @FionaWilsonVPD #factsmatter #evidencebased
