A-Dubthe Conservative Ontario government is going to try to sneak Bill 242 ("Safer [sic] Municipalities Act") through soon, likely sandwiched between other Bills with different foci... Bill 242 is the one that will give various police more powers to surveil harass detain and arrest unhoused people living in encampments and elsewhere merely for the crime of being unhoused. keep your eyes peeled for this upcoming shit 💩 and do whatever you can to stop it 🛑 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ONpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ONpoli</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HousingForAll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HousingForAll</a>

Gigi 🍄‍🟫The fact they're doing this METRES AWAY FROM THE LITERAL HOMELESS MEMORIAL is disgusting as shit.In about 15 mins I have to dip briefly for a protest (there are 2 other LOs here rn), but the residents have approved the callout for more bodies on the ground for the pending clearing that the motherfuckers absolutely confirmed is happening.Unfriendly reminder that at St Stephen's, the motherfuckers waited us out and didn't do THAT clearing until night.Apparently, the City needs the park empty to "repair the grass and fix the paving stones".Fuck everything.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HousingIsAHumanRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HousingIsAHumanRight</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HousingForAll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HousingForAll</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HousingNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HousingNow</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunityDefence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityDefence</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TorontoActions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TorontoActions</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LOLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LOLife</a>

Gigi 🍄‍🟫And back in the city in time for... an encampment clearing.Imagine making $107,000/year ripping down people's meagre shelters and stealing their few belongings. That's the lowest salary among these assholes.Also, Kyle (in the blue, running away) would like it known that he is "uncomfortable" with people filming him as he lies to encampment residents about the likelihood of being housed, and threatening them.And yeah, they have the public order unit chilling on standby.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HousingIsAHumanRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HousingIsAHumanRight</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HousingForAll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HousingForAll</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HousingNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HousingNow</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoliceDontKeepUsSafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PoliceDontKeepUsSafe</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhoKeepsUsSafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhoKeepsUsSafe</a>

A-Dubin Wellington, New Zealand, the Downtown Community Ministry, which works with local homeless people, says the number of people rough sleeping in December 2024 was up by one-third compared to the year before. the criteria for getting emergency housing have been toughened so much that people “stopped asking”.<a href="https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/26-03-2025/note-to-ministers-cutting-services-doesnt-make-need-go-away" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/26-03-2025/note-to-ministers-cutting-services-doesnt-make-need-go-away</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HousingForAll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HousingForAll</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NZpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZpol</a>

DoomsdaysCWMeanwhile, in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a>...From 2023: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TwoSpirit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TwoSpirit</a> organization funded to build first transitional housing project in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HalifaxNovaScotia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HalifaxNovaScotia</a> Sara Gouda - CKDU - Halifax • NS | 06-04-2023"The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiTwoSpiritAlliance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WabanakiTwoSpiritAlliance</a> has received government funding to build and manage the first two-spirit transitional housing project in Halifax."'It is the first housing to be built for two-spirit people, but I can tell you, it won't be the last,' said Tuma Young, two-spirit Mi'kmaw lawyer from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Membertou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Membertou</a> and co-founder of the Wabanaki Two Spirit Alliance."Two-spirit, a term coined back in the late 1980s, is used to describe <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LGBTQ</a>+ plus members who are <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a>."'The priority is for Two-spirit people. I'm not at liberty to say how much funding we received because the details are still being worked out. We are building a transitional home that's between six and eight units,' said Young."The new housing development is part of Canada's National Housing Strategy. Young said that ensuring housing is a major issue due to policy issues, jurisdictional issues, and funding issues."The new project will take about six months to a year to develop and operate, and Young said that the alliance is still looking for land to build its units on."'As the organization's other co-founder mentioned, the irony doesn't escape me that we're asking for land.'"Young hopes they will be able to build their first transitional project for Two-spirit people in Halifax, but if no land is available, the project would be in nearby areas such as Dartmouth, Sackville, Hammonds Plains or Eastern Passage."'Housing is such a major issue, we're also looking at some <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SeniorHousing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SeniorHousing</a> for LGBTQ+ folks. I'm also looking towards the future of housing and how we can get housing in reserves where I know a lot of two-spirited people without access because they were never even placed on the housing allocation list,' said Young."Young said that housing options often go to families, while two-spirit people are often single or don't have children, and that the real culprit is not the allocation of resources but the fact that more resources are required to provide housing for all in need."'For example, per community, they may get about 10 houses per year, but the need is actually 400. So with those 10 houses, people have to pick a priority of who will get them. And for a lot of two-spirit people, they will never be able to be on their priority list because there'll always be somebody who will need a house more,' said Young."Better ways to delegate resources among the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FirstNations</a> communities would be to collaborate with all three levels of government, to identify housing as a priority and find ways to allocate limited resources, according to Young."'When housing is done properly, fairly, equally, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/equitably" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#equitably</a>, then everybody gets a chance at housing,' said Young."
