Homelessness Crisis Phone Zap

Health Providers Against Poverty

Join us for a phone/email zap on March 22 to hold city council accountable and demand action for the ongoing homelessness crisis in Toronto

Join us and demand that City take immediate action to find a better respite space and work with community organizations and advocates to develop a comprehensive strategy that addresses the root causes of homelessness and provides sustainable solutions for those who are most vulnerable!!The City of Toronto's response to calls for a comprehensive and accessible 24/7 respite space is inadequate and fails to meet people’s basic needs. After months of unhoused people, frontline workers, nurses, doctors and numerous other concerned residents showing up to city hall and demanding respite spaces, the city allocates a miniscule part of the budget towards this goal. The current site at Metro Hall, which only has the capacity to accommodate 45 people and lacks showers on site, does not provide sufficient support and infrastructure to help people experiencing homelessness and fails to meet the city’s own shelter standards. This meeting will be held virtually via Zoom.Registration DetailsZoom invitation details will be included in your Eventbrite registration e-mail. HPAP members who are on our mailing list will also have access to the invitiation details via the regular agenda e-mail. A reminder e-mail will also be sent out one day prior to the event. About Health Providers Against PovertyHealth Providers Against Poverty (HPAP) is an alliance of health care providers who came together in 2005 to participate in a campaign to prescribe extra funds to low income Ontarians living on social assistance through what came to be known as the “special diet campaign”. We have since grown to have a network of several hundred providers as well as provincial chapters in Ontario, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador.As health care providers, we recognize that poverty is one of the most significant risk factors for poor health. Through advocacy, education, and patient care, we work to eliminate poverty and reduce health inequities in CanadaTo learn more go to healthprovidersagainstpoverty.ca
