On Monday, more than 100 advocates for the unhoused community gathered for a symposium in Winnipeg at the Canadian Museum of Human Rights.“The unsheltered community know what they want. They want their voices heard. It’s them; they have the solution,” Kaufman said.“What the city needs to do is have a direct policy focusing first on low-income housing. 30 per cent of whatever you’re making, whether you’re on welfare or not. Thirty per cent.
Gamblin said housing becomes more effective when people experiencing homelessness are empowered to speak up and share their input on how these spaces should be run.Health task force blasted over ‘dangerous guidance’ for cancer screeningsDentists hesitant to sign up for federal dental plan; seniors advised to look at all options“Houses where it’s OK to use whatever they choose to use.
