London, Ont. homeless advocacy group maintains call for hunger strike on Tuesday
“We share their concerns for the vulnerable people in London and agree that we, like many cities, are at a crisis point,” the city’s statement reads.“We also appreciate that conversations throughout the week have created an even greater awareness of just how difficult these times are for people who are experiencing homelessness, addictions or mental health challenges. We grieve as well whenever a person passes away at the hands of poverty, addiction, or inadequate housing support.
“When the Community Informed Response team visits an encampment, the primary concern is health and safety always, for the individuals at the encampment as well as in the surrounding areas. The approach has not been to displace and tear down encampments. It begins with outreach and support.” In a statement, the London Homeless Coalition shares the #theforgotten519 concerns regarding the rising number of deaths.
