    Testimonies of Homelessness

    The audio interviews were prepared for the regional council's Committee of the Whole meeting on August 11th 2020, addressing the humane side of trauma when the systems fail the most marginalized in our communities - especially the Indigenous and reacialized residents. The delegations were asking for more alternative housing and especially, more alternatives to shelters to ensure dignity and the respect of human rights of the residents we have left behind. The community movements are coming together across the region, to provide direct supports, bare witness & make sure the unsheltered voices are not erased.  What the regional staff offered as dorm-style shelters, at this point addressed only the homeless single men who entered the system during COVID through the Radisson and Kaufman YMCA pandemic response spaces, but does not at all address at least 400 residents who are not in the shelter system. This point was not addressed at all by the staff nor the council.

    Homes 4 All Episode 2: Nowhere to Go

    Angela Goodwin had conversations with people suffering with opined and drug consumption, due to health conditions, to hear more about the struggles and challenges to accessing supports and stable income. They also know that having people directly impacted by homelessness making decisions and offering solutions is a crucial piece in healing our communities.   Welcome to Homes 4 All where we are taking a few moments today to Turn Up the Volume of voices of those most at risk during the coronavirus spread. As Co-vid19 continues to spread, people are forced to make tough decisions for the sake of some of our most vulnerable people. We, at the Social Development Centre, want to take this opportunity to remind you who MAY have slipped your mind in at this time because they are not in your direct social circle.
