@Dave_Eby@twitter.com noting that providing non-profit housing in Vernon decreased police interactions by 50%.

Housing is public safety. Housing is healthcare. Housing is a human right.

Another day with a 10 HOUR WAIT at BCCH. This means parents have been there all night long in a waiting room full of sick kids, some not breathing well, some not able to eat or drink, some in pain with no Tylenol. But no, a mask mandate would be TOO MUCH TO ASK.

Premier Eby announces that BC will have a housing minister who is solely dedicated to housing issues and doesn’t have any other portfolio responsibilities. Good move. Says BC will implement the most ambitious housing plan in North America - here’s hoping. #bcpoli #housingcentral

We fight all the arms of capitalism in our daily lives. We have to beg and plead in ways that are pleasing to people like those attending #HousingCentral
We hold back & hide just enough of ourselves to not evaporate under the weight of the 'compliance.'

All you have to do to be heroes is put on a mask. Put on a mask and you can save a life. Put on a mask and you can help overwhelmed hospitals and the kids who need care. Put on a mask and you tell those who are at risk that their lives matter to you.

Community care and safety means wearing masks in indoor public places, especially if you claim to be working within communities to keep people safe and cared for. #HousingCentral

Premier Eby notes an issue that has come up more than once today - how non-profit housing is rejected at municipal level. Highlights new legislation to partner w/municipalities to remove barriers to needed housing, while supporting new infrastructure for communities. #bcpoli #housingcentral

Delightful to see surprise guest @Dave_Eby at #HousingCentral Conference today. Talking about his own experience in housing advocacy in the #DTES. #vanpoli #bcpoli

Bullard is now talking about how racialized neighbourhoods, public housing residents and neighbourhoods w/elderly much more vulnerable to harmful pollution and lack of green space - a 1:1 relationship between racist land use planning and zoning and enviro harm. #housingcentral @BCNPHA

Delighted that Dr. Robert Bullard is talking about environmental justice and climate action that meets the needs of communities at the #HousingCentral conference - after we discussed energy poverty this morning. Environmental justice is housing justice. 👏🏻 #environmentaljustice

The 2022 #HousingCentral Conference is off to a flying start here in Vancouver. 1,600 folks from across BC and beyond are here to connect, learn and share ideas about making #affordablehousing progress. Can't beat this atmosphere!

Presenter Jen Arntfield from CMHC is talking about energy poverty in affordable housing; older buildings are expensive for tenants to heat, making a business case for energy upgrades (in addition to the obvious GHG reduction benefits). #housingcentral

At the @BCNPHA #housingcentral Conference, at an absolutely packed session for the funders' panel (no surprises about why everybody's here). Will keep folks updated on interesting content here at the conference over the next couple of days!

It's great to be back to an in-person #HousingCentral conference. Already loving the energy and the hallway conversations over #coffee.
