I live in social housing and do outreach work as a private citizen and can find myself feeling frustrated and overwhelmed - ur stories give me a practical place/way to go back out to do the work again. Miikwehc - thankyou.
I wish Doug Ford would listen to you and take your advice to heart. I think you have amazing ideas and the way you see things is wild. I think you could put a big dent in this crisis
I work at a housing focused shelter and it’s tough with the market. So many of my clients CAN be housed - the housing market just doesn’t make it easy. 😢
Well said. Housing is too expensive and wages are too far behind the cost of it. People need to know how many people have jobs but still can't afford the rents in their area.
Just thinking cuz you mentioned cleanliness; Normally a trash service with the cans is bot and paid for but it runs on a paved track full of addresses amd numbers
I think we are working on transitioning from encampment to some kind of housing assimilation type. I think we are supposed to be brain storming to find the words to guide those who have the means to find the ways
I am sick to death of people describing the homeless as victims or vinerable. Yes there are a very s.all percentages that describes. When l see people who are strugin in minimum wage jobs being homeless. Or war veterans yes they truly are deserving of help. But yesterday l saw an interview with a man that was homeless. He was in his mid sixties had NEVER held down a job becuse his whole life wad going in and out of prison. He is now homeless has been since he came out of prison 5 years ago and he now hevgets welfare and is a heroin addict. If it were up to me l would make him work.and you cant blame the whole problem wit on covid. Some of them are jut junkies. They comitt crimes they shoot up and and leave syringes where ever they like
I hear you and I get it. But here’s the thing: Addicts aren’t in control, the addiction is. And you know one of the groups that struggles *most* with addiction? Former military. VA hospitals are just jammed with addicts, according to a VA doctor I spoke with recently. And formerly incarcerated people often struggle with addiction too, clearly. Doesn’t mean these people aren’t deserving of help (at least not in my opinion). They need help, badly. But people have to want to change before change can happen. Until or unless they do change, they *are* vulnerable. Junkies are people too.
So you saw one person who you disagree with getting help, and you’ve arbitrarily decided that all of the rest are the same? Where are you getting your “small percentages” numbers from? How do you know he isn’t the “small percentage” and the rest are victims? Disregarding the clear bias against someone who has been in and out of prison who can still be a victim of course. Do you think the majority of people who commit crimes were born criminals? Or have you considered is it possible they could be victims of circumstance that led them down that path?

Why should they get free housing
@@galegrazutis964Who said anything about free housing?
@@galegrazutis964 - I never said anything about free housing. Within time and proper work our system works in a way that they end up paying rent.

This all sounds very nice. Are there model encampments that exist and can be identified??

You suggest real solutions that make sense.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
