today's article</a> from <a href="http://www.healthydebate.ca">www.healthydebate.ca</a> exploring responses to homelessness in cities like Calgary and Toronto. The article quotes
<a href="http://www.stmichaelshospital.com/crich/scientists/hwang/">Dr. Stephen Hwang</a> from CRICH, and discusses the potential of the
<a href="http://www.stmichaelshospital.com/crich/projects/at-home/">Housing First</a> program approach.
<br>
<br>
It's particularly timely as Toronto City Council is debating a proposed <a href="http://www.thestar.com/opinion/commentary/2014/01/21/time_for_city_and_province_to_tackle_urgent_homelessness_crisis.html">
$4.3 million cut to the Housing Stabilization Fund</a> as part of the 2014 municipal budget vote this week.
<br>
<br>
