[Craic] CBC Matt Galloway's interview talks about the political will needed to end homelessness

[Allan Baker]

Hi David;

Shari and I just finished listening to that portion of The Current.
Thank you for referring it to all of us.
It was uplifting to hear the stories from places where the ACT on the fact that housing is a human right, and we are all a part of the same community.
Political will, they say, is lacking here in Canada - the intestinal fortitude, or spinal strength, to use our resources to provide housing for all.

Thanks David

But Canadians don't have to look too far to find a handful of places that are tackling the problem head-on — and winning. Jaime Rogers, the manager of homeless and housing development with the Medicine Hat Community Housing Society, tells us why the city can be a model for the rest of the country. We also talk with Stephen Gaetz, the director of the Canadian Observatory on Homelessness and a professor at the Faculty of Education at York University in Toronto; and Juha Kaakinen, the CEO of Finland's largest social housing enterprise, the Y-Foundation.
