They ignored their own reviews and reports citing they had evidence to close them - with the looming legal challenge, they desperately are trying to build the evidence they didn’t have by hiring former cops to dig it up. They didn’t have the evidence and still don’t.

Rafi, our coordinator, deputed in regards to the City budget. We need to fund long-term solutions to the housing & food insecurity crisis, NOT spend millions on evicting encampments: a tactic to displace people, cause harm, & invisibilize homelessness. 👇🏼 youtu.be/g3lKy5C2zm0?fe…

In an unprecedented announcement, the City of Toronto declared a food insecurity crisis. Stats are grim: 1 in 10 people in Toronto rely on food banks. We see this crisis first-hand in our program. Pls consider supporting us financially to help us continue feeding the community!

Disabled people are an afterthought, and it's killing us. TUHU members speak out in partnership with Shelter and Housing Justice Network to call on the city for prioritizing the immediate need for accessibility in the shelter system, TCHC, and beyond. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

📣 shoutout to our longtime outreach volunteer, Fortunato Durutti Marinetti, who rocked the Cameron House this past weekend & was obviously the sharpest dressed guy in the room. The only thing missing was a squeeze box. The music was uplifting. What a night!

It’s National Volunteer Week! We simply couldn’t do this work without our volunteers’ steadfast commitment & unwavering dedication & compassion. Their generosity make a significant difference in many lives as they support the efforts to fight food insecurity. Thank you!

In addition to hot meals, we also give out bagged lunches that are sometimes the only thing our guests have to eat the next day. Is your faith group/work/friends able to help us make 200 sandwiches monthly or a frequency you're able? Please contact: [email protected]

This work is hard, but we’re stronger together. On Friday we joined partner agencies & drop-in meal programs supported by CH+ to share knowledge & build community. We’re all feeling the strain as the affordability crisis brings more people to our doors, but we’re not giving up.

I love that there is such a thing as the H20 truck but having it sit at Nathan Phillips Square in no way meets unhoused water needs.

This Tuesday Jul 15, Toronto’s Planning & Housing committee will discuss zoning laws for shelters. There are groups of people planning a press conference & loud public opposition to building shelters. Imagine being against shelters while the homelessness crisis balloons. [2/]

There is a dangerous air quality index alert today & we still have no 24/7 options for people who are unhoused. On outreach last night, our volunteer teams dropped off water, hot meals, & bagged lunches to people who live outside. Now, will the City do their part?

And it was then Acting Mayor Jennifer McKelvie who made the announcement city would not allow asylum seekers in city shelter system. Under her watch.
