Ontario's #Bill23 may create housing supply, but not the affordable kind that lower-income households need. It also threatens the little affordable housing that still exists.

A lot of hot takes out there about why young people get involved in crime...
Over the last decade I've served a diverse range of rangatahi (both rich and poor), many who've gotten on the "wrong side of the law".
Here's some things I've learnt...
Over the last decade I've served a diverse range of rangatahi (both rich and poor), many who've gotten on the "wrong side of the law".
Here's some things I've learnt...
1.There are no "bad kids" out there, only hurt ones. No matter how tough, scary, big, or bad, a young person may seem to you, when you take time to listen and hear what's going on under the surface the reality is a child who is hurting and really just asking to be seen.
2. Rich or poor, when YP feel disconnected from their whānau and community, ostracised and othered, they are more likely to become involved in crime. This disconnection can happen as a result of communities scape goating YP and expecting little of them (currently occurring atm)

About 4 yrs ago the business association in a community I was serving in decided that it wanted to do something about the rough sleeping whānau in our hood

There were some real challenges being exp, w/begging on the streets, pple suffering from complex MH/Addiction , extreme poverty and whānau who had no where else but the street to call home
The business association wanted us and the police to move the whānau on. Of course we knew this wouldn't solve the issue. We had whānau suffering from poverty and homelessness, that was the problem that needed addressing.

Aunque consideramos que este RD 37/2020 no deja de ser un parche más, que da respuesta a una situación de emergencia social que pronto va a cumplir un año, però que no incide en la base del problema de la vivienda en todo el Estado.
🔔NEWS🔔 Today the newly established 'Right to Home' working grp of 🇨🇦 cities is calling for all levels of govt to implement in unison the #right2housing, end homelessness + protect tenants. The status quo is no longer viable: MORE HERE: maketheshift.org/righttohome #RightToHome

Today was the last day of @leilanifarha's 6-year tenure as Special Rapporteur on the #Right2Housing. 20+ countries, 12 reports and one whole social movement later, she moves on to lead @Make_TheShift which she founded the Shift as SR in partnership with @ohchr and @uclg_org. /1
She shared her reflections and insights in a virtual event via Zoom this morning which can be viewed here:

It is so nice to be in your company, on this, my last day as UN Special Rapporteur on the right to housing. These are incredibly trying times and there is nothing for it, but to come together. To be together. To connect in whatever way we can. /3
We are calling on people to join us on the streets on #March9th to demand, yet again, meaningful action on the housing crisis. The government could begin by implementing the demands of the motion overwhelmingly supported by the Dail last October. #HomesForAll #Right2Housing
#March9th will be just one of a number of regional demonstrations over the coming months which will culminate in a national demonstration in Dublin on May 11th. #HousingCrisis #HomesForAll
#Homeless figures released by Dept for Jan show 9,987 people as officially homeless. This is a drop in the ocean compared to the true number of people impacted by #homelessness.
#HousingCrisis impacts everyone from students, Travellers, workers, families, migrants & children.
