Prioritize people over property values and large backyards, please and thanks!

"The observance of World Social Justice Day offers us a chance to reflect on the institutional inequalities that prevent people from accessing basic needs like food, water and housing." So that's what we did in our new blog post: https://t.co/NAyo1GEyPB

There is nuance to this decision and discussion, absolutely. But broadly speaking the Venn diagram of people who complain the loudest about homelessness and then lobby/advocate/vote against things that will help reduce homelessness is a circle.

Two new, year-round day spaces for those exp #homelessness in #yyc !!! We absolutely support this, but these services should NOT be seen as a long-term solution to the ongoing need for more housing options in the city. #homeless #HousingForAll

As temperatures will drop due to the cold weather, we recognize the risks faced by those experiencing homelessness. If you or someone you know is experiencing homelessness, know what cold weather resources are available. Visit https://t.co/X0xEKXwGtv for more information.

Congratulations to Glasgow for opening The Thistle, the country’s 1st safer consumption space. It takes a lot of courage to move forward w/ these projects when you’re battling misinformation & stigma. Kudos for adding this to your system of care for those struggling w/ addiction
