On Oct. 1, @TorontoCouncil resumes!
There are two inquiries into #encampment evictions on the agenda, beginning with @kristynwongtam's administrative inquiry. Answers to the Cllrs questions are due at Council — although how transparent will they be? app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgen… /1

The second item is @m_layton and @JoshMatlow's excellent motion requesting a public inquiry into #encampment evictions by a judge of the Superior Court of Ontario. The public can and should write letters of support for this motion ahead of Oct. 1. app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgen… /2
Additionally, Council will once again consider multi-tenant housing, which represents one of the only affordable housing options for low-income and unhoused people, including #encampment residents. This motion must pass. app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgen… /3
For more on the issue of multi-tenant housing and legalization, the always lovely @Rampagehall penned this Op-Ed in @TorontoStar last Friday. thestar.com/local-toronto-… /4
As well, the Budget Variance Report, which initially detailed that SSHA was $29.7 mil. under budget, is expected to be revised, as SSHA is supposedly significantly over-budget — stay tuned for updates to the report ahead of its deliberation at Council. app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgen… /5
'Protecting Vulnerable Persons & Reducing Homelessness' suggests that the eviction of folks living w/ disability can be addressed by education to landlords/@TorontoPolice. I wrote a letter on why this is problematic, why supports must be tenant-facing. app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgen… /6
