Kathy Denton, 50, sitting inside the van she has been living in since she became homeless earlier in the pandemic.TORONTO -- Across the country, people are being told to stay home and stay apart as a way to slow the spread of COVID-19. But when you don’t have a place to live, following those guidelines and staying safe from the virus is a huge challenge.
“My stress level was through the roof,” Denton told CTV News. “I cannot explain how bad it was at that time for me.”“How can you afford to rent a place if are not bringing in at least $2,000 a month?” she pointed out.“I am on the housing list,” Denton said. “Maybe I will get in, but it is not going to be right now.”
As COVID-19 cases continue to spike in B.C., space in short-term housing and shelters is increasingly difficult to find. “The need is up, space is down, threat level up,” Hunka said. “People are stressed. Some people are getting sick.”Across the country, infections are up among the homeless. On Nov. 6,At a shelter in Calgary, there have been three separate outbreaks.
YES THEY ARE OPEN YOUR HEARTS ❤❤ Calgary
We need to quit handing out billions in foreign aid and start housing Canada’s 🇨🇦 homeless.
If Conservatives followed Jesus Commandment of Take care of the Poor the ill a d the children there would be no Homeless. Instead they Cling to the Old Testiment of. If a man does not work he should not eat. And yes it applies to woman too. Because biblically human was mankind.
Sad that they are homeless. Most by choice. But the globalists with their covid threat are the ones making it more difficult. People don’t see that vaccines for the world. Come on, that is enough to show the smart ones this is a plandemic. Trudeau even said so himself. Lol
They've struggled even before this pandemic! THEY, NEED, HELP!
Is there anyone who doesn’t need help these days? Who will help the middle class?
Why cant she live in suburbs? People working as a cashier only make $2000 a month. Should everyone set up tents in downtown and apply for social housing? We should encourage people to do so, we then have reasons to Justify Inefficiency and waste in social support programs.
Too bad Trudeau gave it all away at the G20
My daughter is also unemployed, and has 2000 dollars a month right now. I should let her apply for social housing like every homeless people do. Instead, I let her live with us because we don’t want to burden the society. Maybe I should cry a river about it.
hope this lady finds gets help ,,
Trudeau commits $1 B to buy properties (motels, hotels for rapid-housing program) Sept 21. He just has to find Liberal friendly property management firm to drop the cash, at inflated market value.
Trudeau just promised a bunch of money to third world countries to combat Covid. Either he needs to take a closer look at helping here or those struggling should go there.
Im sure all that money JustinTrudeau gave to the UN and to other countries, will help these Canadians.
Sad. But then I'm actually a caring person.
Too bad the gov doesn't actually give a shit. If they did they would end patchwork programs & finally create UBI
Covid the tipping point alright...🙈
