From Pittsburgh to Oakland, we're facing a nationwide crisis that's impacting renters, homeowners, and small landlords. Politicians know what they can do to help. It's time for them to take the necessary action -- pronto. post-gazette.com/business/mo…
A number of people need to know if they can break a lease because they are no longer employed due to covid . I can't get any answers. #yyccc #ableg #rentersrights
This is the harsh reality that the homeless live with. #ableg #housingisahumanright

This is not on. This is not how it’s supposed to work. This is not the sort of nation we think ourselves to be. Surely intervention against this type of cruelty is the remit of someone.

@JanisIrwin B.C just announced that everyone on income support will be getting an extra 300$ a month. Is there any chance of this for Alberta with people on AISH like myself? Or income support? Like maybe a small chance, a tiny chance, an itsy, bitsy one?
Are there any provisions made for people who have to break their lease during the pandemic? @jkenney @RachelNotley @JanisIrwin #AbLeg #yyccc
Exemption of 2 meters for homeless. Exemption of giving a shit for the homeless. #AbLeg #nothingnew #notsurprised

@inklessPW You may not be aware, but protocols as prescribed by @CMOH_Alberta are not being followed & you cannot discriminate based on income in Alberta.

✅ fire tens of thousands of public sector workers

Feds roll out help to airlines coping with fallout of coronavirus pandemic. Rents waived at major airports through December; will save airlines $331M. Comes as government prepares to unveil more details of wage subsidy program. Latest COVID-19 update: cbc.ca/1.5514497

THREAD:
Nearly 1/3 of total Canadian households are renters. Yet proposed #COVID19 financial relief utterly fails to address looming issue of rent coming due.
It’s good that evictions are suspended, but about half of renters live paycheque to paycheque. Arrears will crush us.
