Watch this. Our housing doesn't have to be like this. The only true solution to homelessness is Social Housing.

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.

Housing is a human right—which means eviction should never be the default. ⬇️Stronger tenant protections that prevent unnecessary eviction is urgently needed all across Canada.

Pierre Poilievre helped create a moral panic against people who are homeless who use substances. Now he applauds their criminalization. @PierrePoilievre is a denier of the facts: 1) Unregulated illicit drugs are killing Canadians 2) Deaths unabated under the “recovery-oriented”…
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS! The activity centre runs on a small staff & many volunteers. We are searching for volunteers who would like to work in our kitchen or our reception. If you are interested drop by or contact Carla at 250-590-1336. #yyj, #victorialocal, #csvac, #cookstvillage

It’s the dirty little secret of housing policy - that the root of rapidly rising house prices is govts encouraging treating homeownership as an investment. And no government is willing to address it.

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.

BC never gave #decrim a fair chance. It is blamed for social issues that are the result of policy failuree resulting in a housing crisis & poverty. Rather than address the real issues @Dave_Eby found a convenient scapegoat. Our loved ones die. #bcpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
Send a letter to Premier Eby telling him you object to recriminalization in BC. Tell him that you unequivocally disagree. Share your voice for sensible drug policy and policy that reduces death. Share widely. #bcpoli firstunited.ca/resources/dont…
Americans don’t want to punish homelessness either. Why do we, too?
