TOMORROW in Dartmouth
FUND CARE, NOT COPS
Join us at the Board of Police Commissioners’ second public consultation on Wednesday, November 22, 4-9 PM at 60 Alderney Landing in Dartmouth to demand that the municipality fund care, not cops.
ALT Poster reads: The HRP is seeking a budget increase for 24 new officers, with 12 for mental health, street patrols, and hospitals. The last meeting was divided, with calls for increased police presence in Dartmouth and stigmatizing language. We need your voice at this meeting, but we also recognize its challenges, including a room full of armed cops. PADS is organizing a supportive space outside for community connection. We are the ones who keep each other safe. Let’s make our voice heard in our demands to fund care, not cops. Another world IS possible. 60 Alderney Drive, Dartmouth Wednesday, November 22, 5 PM

The old Halifax summer tradition of leaving home to live in a tent in a downtown park.
The increasing number of tents in parks around Halifax, Dartmouth and other parts of Nova Scotia’s largest municipality is part of the “natural evolution” of summertime, Community Services Minister Karla MacFarlance told reporters on Thursday.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scot…

Until we realize housing for all, a (growing) number of community members are having to live outside. @OTC_outreach is offering support to folks and is looking for our support to do that. ⬇️
ALL DONATIONS received between Monday, Jan. 30th to Tuesday, Feb. 7th, will go directly to our @OTC_outreach budget to be used to provide essential survival gear & supplies to folks forced to sleep rough during WEATHER EMERGENCIES.

Already this morning we've been contacted by 3 separate folks who are newly homeless and asking for help to set up a tent. It will be -25C Friday overnight. Shelter beds are full and housing virtually does not exist. What kind of world are we living in?

POWERFUL must-read:
"While nobody would think to throw someone back in the water if they had managed to climb to a safe place in a flood, we are less hesitant to do the same to [ppl who are homeless] seeking shelter from the cold."

Food and a safe place to stay. It’s not a lot to ask for or to provide, and yet - it seems - we can’t fulfil these basic human rights. It’s appalling. saltwire.com/halifax/news/im…

You can donate goods at Elizabeth Fry's Tulip House in Dartmouth and at the Dalhousie History Dept office in the Marion McCain building in Halifax.
You can also send money to BPH or EFry - details in the first tweet.
EFry has provided one list of requests.

The lack of accountability for addressing homelessness in 🇨🇦 - one of the most egregious human rights violations - is astounding. The evidence is scattered in parks across the country, and in hospital emergency rooms.
Auditor General of Canada’s National Housing Strategy Report misses target.

The disaster that is homelessness is spread across this province. There are devastating effects on people when their basic needs cannot be met. Try, for one moment, to imagine yourself in this situation. #novascotia #nspoli

URGENT: I left my home temporarily when the building was condemned due to mould detected in an air quality test (the result of inaction by landlord Marcus Ranjbar). Now he's trying to force me out permanently by violating my tenant rights

This is watching in real time the entrenching of a new 'acceptable level' of homelessness in NS ("they're being looked after") that adds fully employed min/low waged people to those on assistance, already bad enough. It's simply horrifying.

To suggest that only those who don’t want to be supported are homeless is untrue and a grave insult to those struggling through this growing crisis. All Nova Scotians, all people, deserve safe, permanent housing. It is a human right. @karla_macf_pc @TimHoustonNS #nspoli

To be clear. Shelters are not housing. Homelessness refers to situations where individuals and families live without their own safe, secure, adequate, permanent housing. This can include couch-surfing, temporarily staying with friends, hotel rooms, tents, cars, and yes, shelters.
P.A.D.S. Community Advocacy Network retweeted
Tuned into QP @NSLeg today where @karla_macf_pc acknowledged our housing crisis but dismissed the reality and the findings of the Point In Time count: “those individuals aren’t homeless. Those individuals are in shelters. They’re being cared for…if they want to be.”
