Cambridge encampment to remain in place until next court hearing kitchener.ctvnews.ca/cambridge-enca…
Important new paper on the law respecting homeless folks’ belongings. Municipalities generally take and discard these belongings without a second thought. belongingsmatter.ca
Finland reduced homeless by 30% in 3 years by converting shelters and transitional programs to permanent housing. Scotland is following suit. Canada must do the same.
Stop building shelters & start building permanent housing with supports. Getting turfed out of transitional housing after 2 years is part of the cycle of homelessness.

Waterloo Region should consider legal protection for tenants against 'renovicting' landlords - goo.gl/alerts/MmKnhP #GoogleAlerts
Evicting #encampments doesn't suddenly make people housed; it just means time, money, and resources are wasted to commit atrocious harm and violate people's rights, all while forcing them into less visible and more dangerous spaces outdoors. theprovince.com/opinion/op-ed/…
Important debate in Hamilton next week. Council will vote on a new anti-renoviction bylaw. Bylaw is impressive & will be huge step to stop unjust evictions. Could be a model for other cities. Kudos to @AcornHamilton for their advocacy & leadership thespec.com/news/hamilton-…
Hey there #Cambridge, you're trending for all the wrong reasons. Instead of trending for voting in support of looking into new ways to bring more affordable housing to the city, you're trending because you didn't prioritize #PeopleOverParking
#Edmonton: Thanks to the work of @coalition4jhr and other advocates, @edmontonpolice’s plan to evict several encampments has been delayed and additional protections for residents implemented. –MJ

The graph in this post says it all. #OntarioWorks rates need to be increased - at least doubled. The rules on income clawbacks need to be changed as well. We cannot continue with social assistance policies that trap people who have fallen on hard times into unending poverty.
