[homeles_ot-l] Election Questions & Meetings - your help needed!

[Lynne Browne]

Please Circulate Widely

 

Hello Everyone,

 

The Alliance to End Homelessness has prepared six questions on housing,
homelessness and health for the Federal Election. We invite you to ask them
and to share them during the rest of campaign. Some background information
is include in the Questions attachment. 

 

Ideas for using these questions: Take the questions to all-candidates
meetings. Send candidates emails and ask for answers. Use them in
conversations with campaign workers looking for your vote. Share them with
voters (friends, neighbours, colleagues). Write letters to the newspapers.
Use your imagination!

 

Housing

1.      National Housing Strategy

2.      Expiry of Social Housing Operating Agreements

4.      Avoiding Homelessness & Economic Loss

Health & Homelessness

5.      Housing and Deteriorating Health

6.      Treatment Under-funding

 

We encourage you to support these upcoming election events:

We are inviting Candidates to join the lunch line-up at an emergency shelter

Candidates need your vote to win.  That’s why your efforts to bring housing
and homelessness to the attention of Federal Election candidates over the
next 2 ½ weeks can make a real difference! 

 

Many thanks for your help,

 

Lynne
