New advocate group for homeless community threatening hunger strike in London, Ont.
The news release also outlined the number of deaths in the past two years among the homeless population.“In 2021, based on official death notifications, 74 people died while being supported in some way by front line workers,” it said. “This number is up from the 59 deaths of this nature we were aware of in 2020.”
The first reaction the city had to the threatened hunger strike was to extend an invitation for an open conversation among the group and senior staff for the city. Dickins said #TheForgotten519 has agreed to a conversation.“We recognize that homelessness is a very complicated issue, as is the cyclical nature of individuals living with addiction,” he said. “Recovery is not linear and substance use recovery doesn’t happen overnight.
