We know that even small rent increases have forced people who have jobs onto the streets. The Ontario Works rates are also so low that people cannot afford rent, again forcing them onto the streets. There is a desperate need for affordable housing in your neighbourhoods as this crisis continues to grow.
We understand that there is funding for affordable housing through the Region that has not been spent, and the importance of participation from both municipal and provincial governments to respond to this crisis in a timely manner.
There is a lot of fear surrounding this project as Indwell seeks to support the vulnerable, who often do not have a voice, in our communities. We know there are many voices that do support affordable housing for the most vulnerable in our communities and we are asking you to stand in favour of this project.
Briefly introduce yourself and mention which neighbourhood you live in.
Voice your support for the Indwell project proposed for Lakeshore Road in Clarkson.
Stress the dire need for 50 units of supportive housing in this community.
Thank your representative for their public service and encourage them to stand strong in the face of opposition to this project.
We are a food bank and community outreach centre located in and serving South Mississauga within the postal codes L5E, L5G, L5H and L5J.
