You can’t police, jail, or shelter your way out of a housing crisis.
At some point, you have to actually HOUSE PEOPLE.
Right? RIGHT?!

Last week, we shared the key issues we’re advocating for ahead of the upcoming election, including funding voluntary detox and treatment (NOT involuntary treatment).
At the start of the last provincial election, two years ago, FIRST UNITED’s Social Justice Committee put together a statement about our position on voluntary/involuntary treatment. It's now 2026 and another provincial election but our stance hasn't changed.
“FIRST UNITED has been serving the DTES community, including those who have mental health challenges, brain injuries, and people who use drugs, for over a century. As an organization with deep relationships and ties in the community, and as those who have seen firsthand the outcomes of failed policies like this, we vehemently object [to involuntary treatment].”

Urban Native Housing operating agreements are expiring, putting the housing security of more than 5,000 Indigenous families across BC at risk.
The November 5 federal budget must deliver action. Indigenous families cannot afford to wait.

Every time I say it's CHEAPER to house people than leave them on the streets, someone tells me to pay for it myself.
WE ALREADY ARE!
Through policing, ambulances, hospitals, shelters and jails.
We're spending more to manage homelessness than we would to solve it.
Paying more to accomplish less. Brilliant. 🫠🫠

Every time I say “housing is a human right,” someone screams, “I don't want my taxes paying for someone else's housing!”
I hate to break it to you, but your taxes are already paying for homelessness.
Emergency shelters, hospitals, policing, courts, jails, and crisis services.
We're spending billions managing the consequences of people having nowhere to live.
So here's my question:
If you're so concerned about your tax dollars, why are you more comfortable paying to manage homelessness than investing in ending it?
Refusing to fund housing doesn't mean you stop paying, it means you keep paying for the crisis.
You can't call yourself fiscally responsible while ignoring the cost of doing nothing.
