Subject: [CRICH list] responses to homelessness, Toronto 2014 budget

Hello everyone,

Please see today's article<http://healthydebate.ca/2014/01/topic/health-promotion-disease-prevention/sheltering-canadas-homeless> from www.healthydebate.ca<http://www.healthydebate.ca> exploring responses to homelessness in cities like Calgary and Toronto. The article quotes Dr. Stephen Hwang<http://www.stmichaelshospital.com/crich/scientists/hwang/> from CRICH, and discusses the potential of the Housing First<http://www.stmichaelshospital.com/crich/projects/at-home/> program approach.

It's particularly timely as Toronto City Council is debating a proposed $4.3 million cut to the Housing Stabilization Fund<http://www.thestar.com/opinion/commentary/2014/01/21/time_for_city_and_province_to_tackle_urgent_homelessness_crisis.html> as part of the 2014 municipal budget vote this week.

For more information about best practices and municipal homelessness reduction strategies, please see CRICH's Building on Evidence<http://www.stmichaelshospital.com/crich/reports/building-on-evidence/> report.
All the best,
Amy Katz, Research Communications Coordinator
