During the pandemic, emergency shelters overflowed as folks were asked to stay indoors, too many had no place to go.

  • Sleeping head to toe in overcrowded shelters wasn’t and isn’t a safe option during #COVID19
  • Municipalities, provinces and territories stepped up and worked to secure hotel spaces for those in need, and our Government provided funding to make it happen.
  • Moving forward through the National Housing Strategy we’ve committed an extra BILLION dollars to rapidly develop and secure affordable housing to make sure that more Canadians have a safe place to be.
  • A more equitable, fair and resilient Canada needs to exist without homelessness!
