Most people who are chronically homeless need a lot of support to access and remain housed. We need provincial and federal prioritization for the expansion of outreach and addiction supports and sustaining operating dollars for supportive housing. We cannot achieve this kind of support with property taxes.
Would you like to provide any additional context for your views on housing?candidate's own words
I support basic income for society's most vulnerable. It's a pathway to dignity.
