Together with @BCAAFC, @PovReductionBC, and @CCAPdtes, we sent a letter this morning urging immediate action to address the threat of #COVID19 for people who are unhoused and inadequately housed in British Columbia. (1/4) http://www.pivotlegal.org/covid19_homelessness_action
The letter calls on all levels of government to exercise their respective authorities in full to rapidly house every unsheltered and inadequately housed resident of BC. (2/4)
We provide a list of actions that must be taken to allow unhoused & inadequately housed ppl to properly engage in physical-distancing, self-isolation, & quarantine at this time, & urge governments to begin long term housing planning for all those who are temporarily housed. (3/4)
If you or your organization would like to endorse this letter, you can sign at the link in part 1 of this thread. (4/4)
