Dear @HonAhmedHussen @ewsiddall @tobi_nussbaum @FCM_online - In light of the tent encampments x #Canada, IMO it's time for natn'l response. Let's hammer out a National Protocol for how city + other govt officials shld interact w/ them using #humanrights frame. Who's in? #cdnpoli

@leilanifarha @HonAhmedHussen @ewsiddall @tobi_nussbaum @FCM_online @ottawacity, is currently in midst of addressing the tent city around bayview stn Human rights approach is critical and those living in the encampments need to be treated with dignity and housed adequately. Lived experience voices should be at the core of this process

Advocacy needs to happen at all levels of government, yes, but we need the city to take the lead and be the loudest voice on the housing crisis in Ottawa. Housing for marginalized women is an urgent critical need and it needs to be addressed now.

At @ottawacity planning committee, @MathieuFleury speaking to rethinking the 'algorithm' of housing economics, comparing costs of keeping people in emergency shelters and motels vs. building affordable housing. An critical conversation and we will be here advocating for our womxn

This a question on housing adequacy! Adequate housing is a contributor towards residents' mental-health and well-being. Patronizing behaviors like this do not address the root of the problem. We support @JoelHardenONDP in calling for an investigation. #HousingForAll

A daughter was banned from visiting her 97-year-old mom for 316 days after speaking out about conditions in her Ottawa retirement home, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

We need a full investigation now. #onpoli https://t.co/rAhfweWHP3

@CentretownCHC, along with partner organizations, urges City Council to invest at least $5 million, over and above existing funding, for non-profit social services in Ottawa during the 2019-2022 Term of Council. #SocialServicesMatter sign the petition https://t.co/zDIetJqerp

[Making Voices Count @VoicesCountOtt]

Almost every community org has spoken to the homelessness crisis in Ottawa, pressing social needs experienced by residents and the lack of capacity to address the complex needs and demands for services. @ottawacity how is the #budget2020 addressing these growing needs?

[CHRC_Ottawa @CHRC_Ottawa]

Several organizations attending Community Protective Services today to urge the City to increase $ for non-profit social services. The sector is being stretched too thin, more investments are needed. Sign the petition. https://t.co/zDIetJqerp #socialservicesmatter

[Making Voices Count @VoicesCountOtt]

Many community organizations and members present at the Community Protective Servies meeting today, representing the most vulnerable and marginalized! Let's drive it home: @ottawacity needs to do a lot more to support social infrastructure and adequate housing in our communities
