@garymasonglobe So make us focus on October 7th so we don't focus on all that children and reporters and Catholic and Christian churches being decimated by the Israeli government

Houston just approved $545,000 to keep emergency shelter and wraparound services running for 125 young people experiencing homelessness at Covenant House Texas.

Health care, mental health support, workforce development, housing. This is what a coordinated response to youth homelessness looks like.

@FirstUnitedDTES I see all the good work they do I hope you support them.

As the cost of living continues to increase, so does the demand for our services. To meet these needs, we're expanding our services & creating new programs when we move into our new building in June. Will you chip in with a $25 gift to help us do this? https://t.co/iS2WoMy3D8

Ken Sim & ABC Vancouver just killed the Social Housing Initiative. After 3 vears, thev either don't understand or don't care. You solve a housing crisis by building housing of all kinds. The Social Housing Initiative would have made that possible.@wazaroff

@FirstUnitedDTES @shoeboxcanada FAVORITE ORGANIZATION TO VOLUNTEER

[BC Homeless Magazine @BChomeless]

Penticton city council’s rejection of the 30-unit tiny-homes plan isn’t just a vote — it’s a failure of leadership. The project would’ve offered heated, supported shelter to people currently living outdoors exposed to freezing temps, violence & harm.
