Working for a healthy end to homelessness #ICHAtoronto

[Inner City Health Associates @ICHA_Toronto]

@ICHA_Toronto supports universal access to care for everyone calling Canada home. Cuts to ON’s modestly funded uninsured program will ultimately cost the public more, weaken health system performance and harm the most vulnerable. For system health, support
#Healthcare4all.

These are two people that I care about deeply, who love our community. It brings me joy to work at Call Auntie through @ICHA_Toronto and provide care to children and their families. We see inequities every clinic and work to reverse them.

We are extremely concerned about the shelter situation in TO and across Canada. We echo calls from @CAEHomelessness, @ICHA_Toronto, @CdnHumanRights that this needs to be addressed as a system in crisis, with new emergency mgmt support & resources from all levels of government.

I'm extremely concerned about the shelter situation in Toronto and across Canada. We need urgent action, with new emergency management support and resources from all levels of government. @CAEHomelessness @ICHA_Toronto https://t.co/hOy5IfTzL1 https://t.co/qQwiHmnnJy

Stuck in a system in crisis, people experiencing homelessness are being pitched into even more danger. Preventing that is a shared responsibility; solutions must come from federal, provincial & municipal levels acting in concert with concentrated urgency. https://t.co/RE7TNAJBS8

[Inner City Health Associates @ICHA_Toronto]

While ICHA continues to directly respond to the immense healthcare needs of people experiencing homelessness during COVID, much more is needed: see ICHA’s position statement released today. https://t.co/DyzVjqfAus

@TheAJWithers @ZoeDodd ICHA and all can and should both support statements about the importance of vaccinations and working with Toronto Public Health and health care partners in this work and continue to hold such organizations accountable. ICHA and our front line partners do this everyday.
