Florence Stratton, a well-loved community activist outlines the causes of the current rise in people who are no longer housed. In this flourishing province, hundreds survive on the street and many people are on the edge of being without a place to live. WHY? How could governments reduce houselessness? What can communities do about housing insecurity? What can we do to alleviate the suffering of those living “on the street”?
October 10th is World Homeless Day, a time to advocate for improved policies and funding that could help prevent and end ‘houselessness.
