[homeles_ot-l] Housing Opens Doors campaign

[Ray Sullivan]

Colleagues and friends,


Something pretty exciting is launching in Ontario this month: the Housing Opens Doors<http://www.housingopensdoors.ca/index.php?lang=en> campaign.



I'll bet all of you have witnessed the positive change that affordable housing can make in people's lives. Good housing leads to good health, stable housing leads to success in school and jobs. Safe and secure housing leads to a higher quality of life at all ages.  Better housing leads to a better Ontario.



You all know this, and many of you know this through first-hand experience. That's why we need you to be part of this campaign.



My friend John at ONPHA<http://www.onpha.on.ca/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home> does a great job explaining it in this fantastic video clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DTxUWvGPMk



So here's what you need to do:



Step one: go to the campaign website (www.housingopensdoors.ca<http://www.housingopensdoors.ca>) and ring the bell (then go to another computer and ring it again!)



Step two: come to the Byward Market on Saturday May 25 and ring the bells on our real live doors! Bring tenants & members, bring clients, bring your stories and bring a loud voice. We want to show the whole city and the whole province that housing really does open doors.



Step three:  help us spread the word<http://www.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xNjE2NzUyJnA9MSZ1PTEwOTM1NzY0MCZsaT03MjkxOTUx/index.html> by downloading posters, adding the campaign banner to your e-mail and website, and sharing the campaign through your social media networks: www.onpha.on.ca/content/HousingOpensDoors/digitalToolkit/<http://www.onpha.on.ca/content/HousingOpensDoors/digitalToolkit/>

Help us get this campaign launched!


I'll have more news for you as the campaign develops.  Until then - don't forget to ring the bell<http://www.housingopensdoors.ca/index.php?lang=en>!
