What's New?On the Right to Adequate Housing - By Peter EglinI was born in the summer of 1947, after the coldest English winter on record. My parents, who had grown up in the poorer housing of inner Liverpool, were on the housing list and, newly married, had moved in to what was a new estate on the outskirts of the city in the late 1930s.

Public Input Session -
2020 Budget Proposal Details On Monday, January 13th, at the 7:30 PM Council meeting to hear public input on the 2020 City Budget, I presented regarding our need to address our affordable housing crisis.

Two main things: 1) A permanent budget line titled "Affordable Housing Initiatives Funding" to be placed in the 2020 Kitchener City Budget. 2) Publicly accessible funding available to be obtained at City level, method and use terms to be developed further by the Affordable Housing Strategy Advisory Committee, and after such approved by the City Council, in the amount of $5,000,000 over the course of the this is the next 4 years budgets. These can be used for local initiatives to access in response to housing need in support of housing creation. |
Rally for Housing JusticeToday many areas in our community came alive. They represented unity of voice and concern about the current states of affair within our world, both far and near.

With the recent eviction of a local, "Pearl", many are feeling more aware of the current local housing issues and recognize the changes we must face if we are to resolve them. We begin to focus on not only the situations of today, but while strategizing for a better tomorrow.

OOPS!!! Website was down through part of summer. (and intermittently) Life had me miss this. Finances lack at times currently to maintain site fees. Despite having removed, for now, the post regarding some School Board "concerns and affairs", make no mistake, I remain firm in all I have said and am continuing to address such matters. Updates when appropriate time to offer and as available.
