@nenshi Andrew Bond from @ICHA_Toronto warns that #NationalHousingStrategy will fail if health care and access to services not included. @doniveson adds that Rapid Housing Initiative was most effective in delivering permanent supportive housing where people can live in dignity

For households in the bottom quintile the only solution for affordable housing is government - we need to build the capacity of the non-market sector. @RomyBowers kicks off the housing discussion at #SOCC2023

@nenshi asks whether the feds’ laser focus on increasing the supply of housing risks just increasing the supply of unaffordable housing, urges regulatory measures, inclusionary zoning.

We’re honoured that @HousingLogement will be joining us at this year’s Symposium.

Ms. Houle will be leading a session focused on housing as a human right. 👊🎤🏠

We’re fortunate to have her join us during a critical time in Canada's housing crisis.

Canada has enshrined the human right to adequate housing. Governments must never cause harm to people because of disagreements about jurisdiction or failures of coordination. https://t.co/aB2iSe9zgp

The egregious housing discrimination faced by African asylum seekers sleeping on streets exemplifies how government inaction contributes to tensions between equity-deserving groups. This situation has ignited convos re: how different groups of unhoused people are treated…

[Right to Housing Toronto @R2HTO]

Toronto’s shelter system is consistently over-capacity & a lack of support from the federal gov’t has left many asylum seekers with nowhere to go—forced to sleep outside. This is unacceptable. All levels of gov’t must step up to address this emergency. https://t.co/JyakpYwO8T

Toronto, only a few hours left until polls close! This is our final chance to vote in the change we want to see. We need a Mayor who will work quickly to deliver the affordable housing our city urgently needs.

Make your voice heard and vote!👇#TOpoli #TorontoMayor

‼️ Reminder that the deadline is tomorrow ‼️

Make your voice heard! The Advocate’s #encampment review will include the stories of the people impacted by the conditions and the criminalization of #encampments.

[TTCriders @ttcriders]

Connect the dots! We're calling on mayoral candidates to invest in non-police responses to crisis and violence, and safe shelter and housing, so no one needs to shelter on #TTC. The TTC’s “Move Along” initiative is a disturbing plan to hide homelessness. 1 https://t.co/00IQTvXxGq
