Doug Ford removes affordable housing requirement, failing the public on housing, again. Rollback puts 5,000 affordable homes at risk `` We just lost the potential for 5,000 units of affordable housing in a housing crisis for no apparent reason. This is a very big setback for our affordable housing plans. GORD PERKS PARKDALE— IGH PARK COUNCILLOR

Doug Ford exacerbates housing crisis, leaving tens of thousands homeless. "When Doug Ford first took office in June 2018, it took 282 weeks of median wages to finance a 20 per cent down payment and the first five years of mortgage payments on a single­family home in Ontario. Today, it takes 327 weeks."

The U.S. is experiencing an 18% increase in homelessness, now affecting over 770,000 people. This surge is due to factors like unaffordable housing, natural disasters, and a rise in migrant populations in certain regions. We must tackle these systemic challenges to provide safe housing for everyone. What solutions do you propose to address this crisis? buff.ly/3BBisuT

@treleanor Bill Shorten, former Labor leader, was crucified by the Murdoch media when he sought to reform negative gearing and franking credits – reforms that would have helped millions of Australians. Now, as Shorten announces his retirement from politics to take a top job at the University of Canberra, we face a nation where homelessness is rampant, and a few wealthy individuals continue to rake it in. It’s time to reflect on how media power manipulates public opinion and stifles meaningful change. #BillShorten #MurdochMedia #PoliticalManipulation #WealthInequality #HomelessnessCrisis #Auspol

The lack of secure shelter increases the risk of injury, illness, and even death among the homeless. Flooding, high winds, and debris pose serious threats worsened by limited access to emergency services

Trauma is common among the homeless, both as a cause and effect. A study found all homeless women and over 90% of homeless men experienced at least one traumatic event.

I just read the headlines about the new Florida law banning homeless people from sleeping on public sidewalks and in public spaces.

Having a depressing morning.

It's been heartbreaking to see the same unhoused folks camped out on steam vents; tethered there as the days grow colder.

I've spent the past few weeks looking into places near me that I can volunteer at like food banks / food kitchens but there isn't really anything in center city.

I looked into what services the city offers/ what orgs needs help and almost all are religious institutions or 'work programs'

I'm not here to bash others 'trying' to help but I'm at a point where we need to seriously start investing in community organizing that treats people's immediate needs on a mutual aid basis and not a coercive 'work or die' or 'you must be saved spiritually first' relationship.

If you want to help feed houseless people check out South Philly Punks With Lunch. They feed people 3 times a week and don't ask any questions.
