An enormous appeal by @raghu_venugopal on @metromorning for city councillors to respond to the 24/7 need for shelter in the form of respite centres. Ppl should not have to be on TTC, in ER rooms just for warmth. He cites the long history of city council motions.....2
....city council motions indicating shelter system capacity should not be over 90%.
NOTE: this came from #jacklayton showing crowded shelter footage to council. Lastman was the mayor. Since then city dcouncils under Rob Ford & @iamdavidmiller reinforced that same 90% number....3

We are at 99.5 - 100% 'regular' shelter capacity with no surge capacity. Note: 'warming' centre open/closing doesn't deal with year long shelter need. Something is drastically wrong.....4
Thanks @raghu_venugopal and the other doctors who keep speaking out....@NaheedD @drandrewb I have a call with @TOPublicHealth associate MoH today and will raise these issues.
