What does homelessness look like in Saskatchewan?
Temperatures plummeted to -25 in some parts of the province and yet there are some people who are still sleeping outdoors. Cities across the country are seeing encampments. People without stable housing, setting up tents, tarps, cardboard and blankets to sleep and form a community. But the National Housing Advocate this week said, encampments are a visual representation as our failure to meet a basic need. Housing, that she says is a human right. We take a closer look at what this issue looks likes in Saskatchewan.

It's a testament to how heartlessly our society ignores people with diminished capacities.
Yes and the whole discussion seems so clinical, esp. from the Assistant Fire Chief. And why do you need a bylaw for public housing units to be repaired and made habitable? Of course people can’t function ‘alone’. No one can. Housing and wrap-around services is what could work. The blunt fact is that all levels of government simply do not care. Great remarks from Michele Biss.

Kinda ironic how most who say this have had the most advantageous circumstances in their lives.
