[homeles_ot-l] Report Card on Ending Homelessness - Shelters overflow in Ottawa

[Lynne Browne]

PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY

 

 

The 2008 Report Card on Ending Homelessness in Ottawa is now on our website
HYPERLINK "http://www.endhomelessnessottawa.ca"www.endhomelessnessottawa.ca.

 

Please read the comments from ATEH Chair Perry Rowe to the media at this
morning’s press conference which are available for downloading too. 

 

*                     The Alliance to End Homelessness is calling for a
formal investigation of the Federal and Ontario Governments into the lack of
progress in ending homelessness. (More on this soon.)

 

*                     5-Year Trend Graphs on Homelessness in Ottawa may be
downloaded as well – after 5 years of inadequate government action the
graphs show that the demand for emergency shelter in Ottawa now exceeds the
capacity of our shelters.
