Wow! Political Guidelines of Ursula von der Leyen include: 🟢EU Affordable Housing Plan 🔵EU Anti-Poverty Strategy No better basis thinkable to advance the ongoing EU work on #homelessness and the EU Platform on Combatting Homelessness (EPOCH) during next 5 years.

Ontario's homeless pop is 9x higher than previous estimates 234,000 people homeless in Ontario. Shelters at 97% capacity. 176,804 households waiting for subsidized 🏘️. We need coordinated action across all govt levels to uphold the right to housing thetrillium.ca/news/housing/o…
