#HouseTheHouseless #HousingFirst

My dentist's office is 2 blocks away from the street encampments on Pandora in downtown #VictoriaBC. My dentist has provided a lot of free dental services to many of the #houseless folks who live in tents on this busy street. I wish everyone was as kind & compassionate.

#YYJ is a bourgeois government city & capital city of BC. There's so many empty buildings all around downtown core & also around the surrounding municipalities - which could be used as housing for many houseles individuals & houseless families.

Much of the so called new 'affordable housing' developments being built/built very recently are totally out of range for many folks who aren't even houseless. There's more than a few houseless folks who have either PT or FT jobs too. #StopHomelessnessStigma & #StopHouselessStereotypes 👍

Please keep putting pressure on your local, provincial & federal governments to fund more housing for houseless citizens.

Please don't be cruel to houseless folks & help them, if you can. Almost everyone is only a few paycheques or one horrible life changing accident away from being houseless.

Be kind 💗 You should never be looking down on anyone with less than you - unless you're giving them a hand up🙌
