@TheSocialCTV 12 years is not realistic for a wait list. It's more like 25 years. If your single man or women your bumbed in line for a women with kids
Homeless people are not just drug addicts and shows like yours need to point out the disabled, victims of financial abuse ;+
You also need to discuss the liberal C35 disabled legislation raised by @CQualtro hours before House of Commons shut down for Summer. She, Ford and Trudeau ignored the disabled pleas for help during the pandemic and news organizations ignored our chronic systemic underfunding.
Canada is in violation of the #UNCRPD and the disability benefit was announce because the @UN_HRC is in session this week, but Trudeau has no #budget2021 $ for new benefit only money to study a new benefit for next 3 years. Leaving disabled living at least 45% below poverty line
The single disabled get 1,169/m for rent and basic needs.....no one can live on this and Homeless get even less. Throwing homeless out of the park is abusive. When offered an apartment you get one chance to say yes and if you say no you go at the bottom of the list
It is inhuman to force people to live in a location where everyone walking by knows it's social housing Instead of building new locations we need rent controls for all and Ontario Works and ODSP rates raised to above poverty so we can try and ge health and possible work #canpoli
