Housing 🏘️ instability in BC has reached unprecedented levels! Today I'll be speaking with UBC Medical Students students of UBC Medicine PAC on the consequences homelessness has on your health. #HousingCrisis #HousingForAll

"#Homelessness is not a choice. Prioritizing emergency shelters over building long-term, sustainable housing -- THAT is a choice." - guyfelicella🇨🇦🍁 #ProvincialWeekofAction #UBCMedforHousingJustice #FutureDocsforDecentHousing #HousingisHealth #BCPoli

Feeling v. fortunate to have met/collaborated with such wonderful people & organizations thru the prep work for #ProvincialWeekofAction eg. Annie Foreman-Mackey (she/her) @IshBhuiyan Russell Maynard PHS guyfelicella🇨🇦🍁 Jen St. Denis Jean Swanson DTES SRO Collaborative Atira Women's Resource Society #UBCMedforHousingJustice

According to Brian Crawford statistics, as many as 30% of people suffering fatal overdoses in BC were unstably housed. #HousingIsHealth: as we enter the 7th year of BC’s toxic drugs crisis, it is crucial that the BC government take bold action to address the ongoing #housingcrisis.

“It doesn’t have to be this way.” Housing those experiencing homelessness reduces ER visits and hospitalizations. But even more important than the economic argument for housing justice is the moral one. Three medical students chime in on the crisis. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2022/0…
