This is a public health hazard.
Imagine having to sleep outside tonight and believe that there aren't serious health ramifications.
We need every level of government to address the humanitarian crisis of homelessness.

This is a wealthy city.

This is one of the best educated cities in the country.

Everyone should have a roof over their heads.

No one should be left vulnerable, unsafe or in harm's way on Ottawa streets in hostile weather.

No one.

Our food pantry needs a little help for our community!
We’ve a lot of dog food, ramen and beans but could sure use some snack items, protein and soups for our Neighbours. Garden produce, freezer meals and homemade baking are also very welcome and appreciated by our Neighbours

NIMBY? never heard of her.

Ottawa approves affordable housing plan and Centretown Community Association stays winning.

It’s so hot and our unhoused and vulnerable Neighbours are indeed suffering with no respite. We’ve got watermelon and lunches, but we need to give #housing and #washrooms . Thank you for your donations that help us help others. #heat #neighbourshelpingneighbours #ottawa

Periodic reminder that if you believe in the work and mission of a particular organization - whether it's a food bank, shelter, community space, etc - donate to them directly.

Cut out the middle managers of foundations and United Way types.

You love the work? Trust the workers.

We are so happy to see this water station at Bank and Cooper. It’s placed in an area where vulnerable people and pets need water, not only to drink but for food preparation and hygiene. Now, how about some washrooms to go with it? @_mayormarksutcliffe
#HousingCrisis

We’ve a Neighbour that’s asking for this. Apparently, it’s a HDMI to DVI cord. Would anyone have one lurking around their house that you don’t need? Thanks in advance! #neighbourshelpingneighbours #tech

To find a vacancy is one thing, to pay for it is impossible. #housingcrisis

We have close ties to this Rooming House and are ready to replace any damaged items as well as send over some treats to help our Neighbours. Everyone is OK. #centretown

We’ve been sheltering some Neighbours during the storm. Take care of each other. #onweather #neighbourshelpingneighbours #ottawahousingcrisis #unhoused
