The City needs to better coordinate to support those forced to live on our streets. When homelessness reached an all time high during the pandemic, the Province stepped up to provide funding to everyone who needed it. As soon as it was over, they walked away. They need to get back to work. #HamOnt

Cities can’t fund health care alone. That hasn’t stopped me from trying to find solutions, which is why I tabled funding a coordinated mental health response last year, like other cities have, to fill the gaps in service everyone is seeing. We need a fourth major service in our city.

Police, fire fighters, and paramedics can’t do it all and expecting them to is unrealistic. Cities need a dedicated team who can help fill the gaps and coordinate the 61 not for profit programs trying to help. Without better coordination, we can neither help those who need it most nor reduce costs.
