*HELLO OTTAWA ALLIANCE MEMBERS,**WE NEED YOUR VOICE TO HELP END
HOMELESSNESS IN CANADA AND IN OUR COMMUNITY.*

The Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness has launched *Recovery for All*
<https://www.recoveryforall.ca/>–a national campaign to end homelessness in
Canada, once and for all. The campaign calls for a recovery plan that
shifts from managing homelessness, to *ending* homelessness.
SIGN UP HERE TO BE A PART OF THIS NATIONAL MOVEMENT
<https://www.recoveryforall.ca/#formlead>.

In Ottawa, we declared a housing emergency in January of 2020 after years
of rising homelessness in our community. COVID-19 has further exacerbated
this crisis. Yet, we are at a unique moment in time when* big change is
possible*. We are seeing communities across the globe rise up to push
systems and governments to address the root causes of injustice and
inequity.

We have also seen that when public will is mobilized, we *can* make
significant changes in our communities.

*Now *is the moment to push our leaders to commit to end homelessness in
Canada as it is clear that a home is the first defence in this health
crisis.
HERE IS THE SIX-POINT PLAN <https://www.recoveryforall.ca/> TO END
HOMELESSNESS, ROOTED IN EVIDENCE:

(1) A *federal commitment* to end homelessness,

(2) The construction of *affordable housing*,

(3) A national guaranteed *minimum income*,

(4) Meaningful implementation of housing as a *human right*, so that
everyone has a home,

(5) An urban and rural *Indigenous housing and homelessness strategy,* and

(6) Ensuring that* housing is for people, not profits. *

Calgary, Edmonton, Guelph, Medicine Hat, and several other Canadian cities
have successfully reduced homelessness.  We can too. *We need you* to make
it happen.
*JOIN* THE MOVEMENT TODAY <https://www.recoveryforall.ca/#formlead>.*SHARE*
<https://www.recoveryforall.ca/> WITH YOUR COMMUNITIES AND NETWORKS
THAT WE *CAN
*END HOMELESSNESS IN CANADA.*ENDORSE*
