We keep missing that all people are trying to do is LIVE & have a home "The city says if eviction notices have been served, it would have been done by the property owner."
Will #kwawesome @CityKitchener allow shelter & citizen support on their land?https://t.co/aq3zuY2zSG

It's how we commit to our citizens need for support and housing stabilization. It's how we tell them that we refuse to allow our most vulnerable to be forgotten. It's how we acknowledge their need, and express that they hold value as individuals, not just statistics.
