@Darrah_Smith @OJEN_ROEJ According to our human rights code, employers can only ask about job qualifications. @OJEN_ROEJ

Like we mentioned before, a more dignified option would be more beneficial than encampments. What if we looked into the Tiny Homes project? Adding tiny homes in vacant areas for example? @OJEN_ROEJ

@Darrah_Smith @OJEN_ROEJ that the people living in these homes are trying to make a difference. @OJEN_ROEJ

@Darrah_Smith @OJEN_ROEJ Is there any proof to backup your statement on why employers would be reluctant to hire those living in tiny homes? From what we understand, employers don't hire based on living conditions. Furthermore, living in a tiny home shows responsibility as since it shows... (1/2)

@Darrah_Smith @OJEN_ROEJ Tiny homes are cost efficient. The person living in the tiny home can work while having a shelter to go back to. If they eventually gain enough money then they can move on to buying a home. However, for now they need a dignified, safe place to live. @OJEN_ROEJ

@fhaque3681 @OJEN_ROEJ Exactly, everything comes with a cost. Including allowing encampments. There are no free solutions. We're saying that encampments aren't a permanent solution we're suggesting a better one with the tiny homes. Like I asked before, do you have any other solutions? @OJEN_ROEJ

[WMTDebatePro @WMTDebatePro]

@fhaque3681 @OJEN_ROEJ @ProvostLaw It's the most quick fix we thought of. Do you have any different solutions? Anything that's less time consuming? @OJEN_ROEJ

@fhaque3681 @OJEN_ROEJ The purpose of tiny homes is to have a shelter for a small family to live in. It's a much more dignified answer than encampments because people value their privacy. @OJEN_ROEJ

@fhaque3681 @Darrah_Smith @OJEN_ROEJ @ProvostLaw We just made a tweet explaining how we believe tiny homes are a better solution.

@CentralPeelLaw @SarahLeahy4 @OJEN_ROEJ Are you implying that post-secondary solves homelessness? @OJEN_ROEJ

#ojenroejsp22

[WMTDebatePro @WMTDebatePro]

@SarahLeahy4 What is your better solution? Are you saying shelters are a better solution? @OJEN_ROEJ

#ojenroejsp22

[WMTDebatePro @WMTDebatePro]

@CentralPeelLaw @OJEN_ROEJ This is exactly the point we're trying to make. If you're trying to argue that shelters are less safe, there needs to be similar data showing that encampments are more safe. Otherwise it's not a fair comparison. @OJEN_ROEJ
#ojenroejsp22

[WMTDebatePro @WMTDebatePro]

@CentralPeelLaw @OJEN_ROEJ Do you have any statistics that encampments are more safe? @OJEN_ROEJ
#ojenroejsp22

[WMTDebatePro @WMTDebatePro]

@Darrah_Smith @OJEN_ROEJ It's easier said than done. Are you saying that until homes are built for those who are homeless, do you think there's no other solution? We don't believe that unfettered encampments are the only alternative. @OJEN_ROEJ
#ojenroejsp22

[WMTDebatePro @WMTDebatePro]

@CentralPeelLaw @OJEN_ROEJ Are there any statistics that show violence in encampments? Do you actually know that it's at greater risk than the shelter statistics? @OJEN_ROEJ

@wowimlikethis @OJEN_ROEJ Do we have the obligation to provide more dignified options? @OJEN_ROEJ
