Raising the Roof-National Toque Tuesday: Put a cap on Youth Homelessness

On Friday Feb 3, 2012, Human Rights Radio spoke with Dan Lindsay about "Raising the Roof" and National Toque Tuesday.  On Tuesday Feb 7, Dan and a team of dedicated  Rainbow Youth volunteers will be selling toques at the F.W.Hill Mall in Regina as part of an effort to "Put a Cap" on youth homelessness. Lower to average income groups continue to struggle to find adequate housing at reasonable cost in this city with a vacancy rate of 0.6 percent.  Those living in poverty are at great risk of being homeless, if they aren't already.  Regina City Council has yet to develop an effective plan for dealing with homelessness and lack of affordable housing while it seems to have a preoccupation with grand projects.
