Good article. Good recommendations:
•Protect human rights by progressively realizing the right to an adequate standard of living.
•Address systemic causes of poverty for marginalized communities.
•Ensure income supports are adequate to afford housing.
End shelter benefit clawbacks for unhoused recipients.
Expand deeply affordable housing supply to match the scale of need.
Confront systemic discrimination in housing and employment.

“I think about the connections between health and housing… I think at some of the work that Dr. Andrew Boozary has led that looks at those who are really high users of the health system, and making sure that we can connect them with housing. Look at the difference it makes in their wellbeing, but also look at the difference it also makes to other parts of health care and other social supports.”

I would also like to add, while most disabled people are not able to work, we are a walking economic stimulus package.
Do you have any idea how many people I would employ if given enough resources to take care of myself? Pharmacists, food services, physical therapists, psychologists, home supports, transportation....
A high tide floats all boats. Support disabled people and lift the whole fekkin economy up too.
@vlrny @nev @TVOntario wow it’s almost like taking care of people is good for *everyone*
