NEWS HIGHLIGHTING THE TOLL COVID-19 IS HAVING ON UNDERHOUSED POPULATIONS

In this episode, Amy discusses her experience of homelessness in Toronto amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Her experience is shaped by colonial violence—specifically the residential school system, child welfare and addiction—but she has retained optimism for a future life more liveable for her and her three-year-old child. Despite the constant call to shelter in place, within Toronto, more than 8,000 people sleep inches apart—and these are the fortune few. Generation Homeless is a series that takes an intimate look at the impact of the unhoused crisis within Canadian cities; particularly as lived and experienced by youth.

THIS IS A STATE OF EMERGENCY WITHIN A STATE OF EMERGENCY. Our governments have failed us on social housing spanning decades long cutbacks, and this is the RESULT. I, and whoever else likes or shares this video, demand that we find an indoor solution immediately for people who are literally being flooded out of Central Park in Victoria, B.C. We also insist that the federal government implements the NATIONAL PROTOCOL FOR HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS IN CANADA: https://www.make-the-shift.org/wp-con... Our leaders need to immediately create a humane interim solution to the housing crisis in Canada.
