The decision by Metrobus to remove this bus shelter from public property further stigmatizes individuals in poverty & experiencing homelessness.

It should be treated as a violation of human rights.

@douglaspawson joins us to discuss all the work being done by @EHSJ709, including a dramatic reduction in shelter stayers who are chronically homeless and other initiatives they're doing in the battle to end homelessness!

"Parents will do whatever they can to make sure those children eat..they’re living in an environment that is in crisis, because somebody in that household is going crazy trying to figure out how to manage from day to day."

How bad is inflation hurting low-income earners in Canada?

“Provincial governments must increase social benefits to keep up with inflation rates or watch homelessness increase.”

New report @RonKneebone shows the dire impacts of doing nothing: https://t.co/B4E1sj5iew

I’m desperately concerned for low-income residents in NL.

Rapid rises in energy, food & housing prices coupled with no increase in Income Support rates & a min. wage far below the poverty line will only exacerbate the need for emergency responses that cannot fix broken systems.

[Doug Pawson @douglaspawson]

This is a pretty important milestone in our community’s effort to end homelessness.

Evidence-informed decision-making allows our community to coordinate a variety of responses to meet the needs of those experiencing homelessness.

Tying Income Support benefits to health needs is a terrible legacy across Canada.

Here’s a 🧵 with my experiences on these issues

[United Way East Ontario @UnitedWayEO]

Seniors across Canada continue to face isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Calling @211EasternON can help them find programs like mental health 1-800 numbers, which allow them to connect easily with caring staff.

Not sure if I’m going to lose a bunch of you or gain a few more - but I promise I’ll keep sharing Wordle scores & advocating for social Justice issues affecting our communities.

[Doug Pawson @douglaspawson]

Stealing food from shelters only strains already limited resources desperately needed.

Let’s be clear - the swastikas, desecration of national monuments & political dog whistles, we’re seeing are not about ‘freedom’. It’s a racist attempt to undermine democracy & human rights.

"Start really focusing on housing individuals, because that is really the solution to both maintaining isolation safely and securely, but also to end homelessness in our community."

Recovering from COVID is easier if you can afford to isolate
