Hello Friend,

Across Canada, too many people are struggling to find a home - or to keep
the home they have. The pandemic has compounded pre-existing problems such
as precarious work and poverty, leading to housing insecurity and
homelessness.

It's time for the federal government to confront the twin crises of housing
affordability and homelessness head on.

We're a year into this pandemic - NOW IS THE TIME TO STEP UP AND ACT.

CALL FOR ACTION! [2]

WE’RE CALLING ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO DECLARE A NATIONAL HOUSING
AFFORDABILITY AND HOMELESSNESS EMERGENCY and to take immediate concrete
action:

* establish a national moratorium on evictions - until the pandemic is
over and for a reasonable time after - in cooperation with provincial
governments.
* implement a national residential arrears assistance program to protect
people at risk of eviction due to accumulated rent arrears.
* enhance the Canada Housing Benefit.
* prioritize funding for non-profit and cooperative housing.

WILL YOU ADD YOUR NAME? [2]

Join me in sending a letter to the government - we must push for solutions.


SEND A LETTER! [2]

GREEN MPS HEAR FROM THEIR CONSTITUENTS ABOUT THE NEVER-ENDING STRUGGLE TO
KEEP A ROOF OVER THEIR FAMILIES’ HEADS. I see the need for more
affordable housing in Toronto Centre, where people are forced to sleep on
the streets. We know these serious issues are affecting people in every
part of Canada, and the pandemic has only made things worse.

THIS IS WHY WE ARE PROPOSING PROGRESSIVE SOLUTIONS. 

ADEQUATE HOUSING IS A FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT. In Canada today, too many
people live with the fear that their home is about to be taken away.

WE HAVE THE SOLUTIONS TO DO BETTER.
