Housing and health cannot be separated. At Horizons, 80% of residents identified at least one mental or physical health concern, and 60% had no consistent health care provider before moving in. Since then, 3,097 health appointments have been supported or delivered. wecanendit.com/106

When people are stuck in shelter, the whole system gets stuck. Since opening, Horizons has provided stability for 150 people, supported 41 move-outs, and helped avoid 53,500+ shelter nights. 88% of residents who transitioned out remain housed. wecanendit.com/106 Image: rhamely

Rent is up, vacancies are down, and affordable units are vanishing. NL lost 1,755 low-rent homes in 5 years. We must build housing again. 🏗️ #WeCanEndIt 🔗 www.wecanendit.com/communityplan

Homeless forgotten in federal election platforms, say advocates | CBC News
Federal parties have laid out their plans to boost housing, but advocates say they don't see the concerns of homeless people well represented, and worry about barriers to voting for homeless voters.
