Скачать или смотреть Conclusion - Dr. Jacqueline Kennelly: Can we end homelessness? How?

In this video Dr. Jacqueline Kennelly argues that we can end homelessness in Canada if the government builds more deeply affordable housing, that remains affordable over time. She notes that the whole social system is set up to keep people in poverty, such as through low income support rates, and that we, as citizens, need to hold our governments accountable. Canada’s rates of mass homelessness can be traced to the federal government’s cuts to affordable housing in the 1980s-90s. Dr. Kennelly argues that we have never fully recovered, and that making change will require educating people about the need for affordable housing and income support interventions.
