NEWS: "London could have responded by doing what some other cities have done and sent in police to clear away its #encampments and evict their residents. Instead, it is sending in help."

Many communities in Canada have invested in “disciplinary” approaches to addressing homelessness.

These processes DO NOT help to end #homelessness and lead to a cycle of displacement for people rather than long-term solutions.

"While some law enforcement agents are friendly, others are not. Ultimately their job is to move people experiencing #homelessness from otherwise public spaces – not solve homelessness."

In mid-size cities, communities typically rely on law enforcement to manage #homelessness because few alternative supports are available.

"People with lived experience of homelessness just want a place to feel safe, clean and warm." @westernuFHS prof @cannemarshall led a new study that looks at what's needed for people to leave #homelessness and thrive. #LdnOnt #WesternU https://t.co/GgUSNPQZwh
