BRIDGE Housing Corporation’s Post

What is represented in this short documentary reflects the feedback we received from Persons with Lived Experiences with homelessness in a peer-led case study in 2019 in the Peer Housing Support Program with the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness (GVCEH). For those of you who will remember this project, it was a peer-created and peer-led evaluation of experiences with accessing housing through the Greater Victoria Regional Housing First Program. What came out of that project was also an extensive and specific list of recommendations for how people wanted to see their own housing being built and maintained, and also for the community they wanted to develop within their housing. Many of the things that have been achieved in Vienna have also been directly asked for here in GV by peer researchers in 2019! We need to start listening more 🩵 This is possible. There is evidence. We can do this here, and we can employ People with Living/Lived Experiences to lead the planning, development and maintenance of these communities. #nothingaboutuswithoutus

In communities across the country, demands on local public services and infrastructure are increasing, and pressure is mounting on the outdated funding model that municipalities operate under. FCM is calling for a new Municipal Growth Framework so #CDNMuni can better respond to the needs of their residents, through sustained investment in infrastructure, housing development and ending chronic homelessness.   Read our #Budget2024 submission: https://lnkd.in/eJtytfRq

"We're a way off meeting the demand for social housing, we need an order of magnitude more investment in that space but that's not easy for governments to do, there's not just infinite money to draw on. "It's not just about the number of houses that we build, it's also what sort of houses we build, we need more diverse housing supply in every part of the country. "There are some really important messages coming from Europe around sustainability of houses so the decarbonisation of housing, that's a really important environmental consideration going forward." Yes. Can we try to do things differently, South Australia ? The Mt Barker development is how NOT to do it. We urgently need innovation in this space. #affordablehousing #housingdesign Calls for solutions from National Housing Conference as delegates debate the housing crisis : ABC report.
