Now not only do we need to watch out for #cops, but now we **definitely** need to watch for #notCops.

I truly feel for anyone who is systematically forced to do the job of someone else - especially when they're not trained for it and lives are at stake.

Homeless encampments in Canada a human rights crisis
December 8, 2022 – Ottawa, Ontario – Office of the Federal Housing Advocate

"Many people living in encampments face harassment and violence from police, bylaw officers, and members of the public. They do not have access to basic services like clean water or heat. Some have suffered harm or have died as a result of exposure, fire, overdose, and other threats to life and safety. These conditions amount to violations of fundamental human rights, including the human right to housing."

THE 5 RECOMMENDATIONS:

Stop the use of policing and law enforcement as a response to encampments

Provide funding and services at all levels of government – to support municipalities that are facing the disproportionate impact of addressing the existence of encampments, and to invest in short and long-term housing options and supports for encampment residents

Ensure the meaningful participation of encampment residents in decisions that affect them

Recognize the distinct rights of Indigenous Peoples and include them in the development of policy approaches to encampments

Address the conditions within encampments and provide access to basic services such as clean water, sanitation facilities, electricity, and heat.
