[Alliance To End Homelessness]

Greetings,

Please consider signing the petition at www.housingemergencyottawa.ca in
support of the City of Ottawa declaring a housing emergency and share with
your networks.

This petition calls on Ottawa City Council to adopt Councillor McKenney’s
Housing Emergency motion
<https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/housingemergencyottawa/pages/12/attachments/original/1576015762/Notice_of_Motion_Housing_Emergency_FINAL.pdf?1576015762>
 which:

   - declares an affordable housing and homelessness emergency in Ottawa;
   - acknowledges that we do not possess the resources to manage this
   crisis alone and that we must call on the Provincial and Federal
   governments to assist us by providing the City with an immediate increase
   in emergency funding for housing, housing supports and housing allowances
   as well as a long-term financial plan to meet the needs of the community;
   - resolves that the update to the ten-year housing and homelessness plan
   includes aggressive targets to:
      - preserve and increase the affordable housing supply;
      - increase access to housing affordability;
      - prevent the occurrence of homelessness and eliminate by 100 per
      cent chronic homelessness by 2024; and
      - ensure people are supported to achieve housing stability and
      long-term housing retention.
