Outreach is a key component to the housing continuum. The human rights approach to the encampment strategy in #ldnont builds supportive relationships and helps to create pathways into existing housing programs.

The federal gov't has decided to withhold $357M in affordable housing funding from Ontario due to the province's failure to meet agreed-upon housing targets. Instead, the funds will go directly to City service managers responsible for housing issues. theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

Over 30% of women experiencing chronic homelessness and engaged in street involved sex work that is survival based in #ldnont self identify as Indigenous. Today we remember and honour the lives of #MMIWG2S+, deaths that are all preventable. One was too many.
1/2 Today is #RedDressDay, a day to honour #MMIWG2S+. Inspired by Jamie Black, a Métis artist from Manitoba who hung hundreds of red dresses to represent #MMIWG, this day raises awareness about the disproportionate violence that Indigenous women, girls, & 2SLGBTQ+ people face.
