The solution to homelessness is deeply affordable housing with appropriate supports. @cityofwinnipeg Council recognizes it with this motion @SherriLRollins @shawn
A plan to build 150 housing units was approved at city council and they'll be designed to help transition people out of sleeping in encampments and bus shelters.

As mental illness among youth surges, it’s critical they have safe & welcoming spaces to find the help they need—all under one roof. That’s why our communities need #Huddle youth hubs, made possible by our donors, @MBGov, & philanthropic partners. bit.ly/3yl9g9v

Our agency partner @EHW_Wpg is organizing the first face-to-face homelessness street census since pre-pandemic. By gauging the number of unsheltered Winnipeggers & understanding their realities, we can better tackle homelessness so nobody is left behind.   bit.ly/38kAX8g
