Why involuntary medical admission and treatment won’t solve homelessness
The arguments made by advocates for involuntary medical admissions and treatment aren’t supported by science.
massive investment in accessible social housing to guarantee homes for all is the solution to mass homelessness
substance use and psychiatric injury are CONSEQUENCES of housing deprivation, not causes
people become homeless because the RENT IS TOO HIGH

Scholars in the US and other countries have now a choice imposed on them:
Acquiesce or resist?
In this handbook, we outline how scholars can respond during democratic backsliding and encourage reflection on personal values and the consequences of different coping strategies.

Our harm reduction family continues to experience tremendous loss.
I am deeply saddened by the loss of Naomi Burke-Shyne and Peter Krykant.
Both made a tremendous impact in the short time they were with us. I wish we had more time with both.
May we be their continuation.
