Shelter asks for monthly donations to house more homeless people

Published on: 2025-01-17

In an article published by Radio Canada, Dr. Eric Latimer and other homelessness experts sound the alarm on Canada’s growing homelessness crisis. In their view, governments must go beyond temporary funding of emergency shelters and implement medium- and long-term strategies to tackle the root causes of the problem.

 

We don’t want people to be forced to live in camps or parks, especially in winter. But the real risk, as far as I can see, is that governments are content to fund emergency housing and don’t at the same time fund a medium- and long-term strategy to really reduce homelessness.
