“The intersections of being LGBTQ+ and living on the streets” As we close season 3 we’re joined by Rev. Evan Smith. Evan shares his story of living on the streets of Toronto, the homeless community who supported them, and what it was like to watch the abandoned building you were living be torn down while your belongings were still inside. Evan also shares how the intersection of LGBTQIA+ youth and homelessness could keep rising if we don’t stand firmly against discrimination in the years ahead.

“SHOW & the need for Federal Social Housing” This week we’re joined by Brian Paul who shares the amazing work being done by his team at Supportive Housing of Waterloo (SHOW).

“A Better Tent City” This week we break down the story of one of the shining examples of Housing Justice in KW. Former city planner Jeff Willmer shares the history of A Better Tent City, and how this self-organized tiny home community came to be as an independent and grassroots response to homelessness in the city. Jeff shares how a few ordinary citizens took an idea, some land and an unwillingness to settle for the status quo and became a model for housing justice that has already started to be replicated in other parts of the province.
