    The average wait for social housing in London is 8-9 years, with 4300 families currently on the wait list. In the Community Plan on Housing there is a target for 1000 new units, which is achievable but not enough.

    There is currently a report in development regarding cash chequing agencies. Hopefully we will find a way to drive these predatory businesses out of our communities.

    "Getting rid of" people is not a long-term solution to addressing poverty in our community. We need to have thoughtful discussions about healthier spaces for people experiencing poverty to congregate. A healthy downtown includes people across the socioeconomic spectrum.
