Canada’s Brutal Decade of Homelessness
In Windsor, Christine Wilson-Furlonger, a long-time outreach worker with a local outreach organization called Street Help,
reports that homeless people are forced to hide in wooded areas. The
city does not tolerate tent encampments. The organization’s outreach
workers frequently help house families with young children when a
family’s motel or shelter is cancelled.

Moncton has taken a zero tolerance policy toward tenting. The city
removed an encampment this spring, displacing approximately 80 people
who dispersed and are now living outside, less protected from violence
or injury. Similar reports are common across the Maritimes.
