Quality housing is critical to address the social determinants of health, and within the communities of color most affected by health and housing disparities, these systemic issues directly correlate to structural gaps in education, employment, public safety, adjudication, juvenile justice, environmental equity, community continuity, and overall quality of life. This is a much-needed start... Edwith Theogene

PROMISE ON THE PLAINS IS BACK! The goal of this funding stream is to build organizational capacity and reduce the gaps and disparities in health, education, financial stability and basic needs experienced in traditionally underserved communities.

Wow...things were worse with Tory…I know that…but like. Did the council read OHR Commision Publications and do the opposite??? Oh, yeah. OHRC is too WOKE for those C.'s "The City is committed to engaging the community to support the positive integration of the shelter into the neighbourhood. Community engagement includes ongoing communication and a Com­munity Liaison Committee (CLC) that was established in late 2020. More information about some of the community engagement can be found at the “Virtual Information Session in Sept 2020,”.the CLC provides resident representatives, businesses, and community organizations with an op­portunity to be actively involved in identifying concerns and challenges related to the shelter, as well as supporting the successful integration of the shelter into the community. If you live in the Scarborough-Guild wood area and are interested in learning more about upcoming meetings and available opportunities on the committee," Meetings with Community Groups... I have to go through that again? The earlier stuff hasnt even been resolved. I'm still waiting for me FOI. Hey, how about meetings with the homeless and fuck everyone else. It's their lives. Like those meetings should NEVER happen!!! Not according to me..according to the Ontario Human Rights Commission. If it is in a Commission Policy, then it is what the tribunal bases their decisions on. : Section 45.5 of the Code states that the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (the Tribunal) may consider policies approved by the OHRC in a human rights proceeding before the Tribunal. Where a party or an intervenor in a proceeding requests it, the Tribunal SHALL consider an OHRC policy. How much did the CHRT just validate that Indigenous Children need to be awarded as remedy for the discrimination by the Government in not affording them equal privileges as other Canadians? It's in the $Billions. One more suggestion. Let people other than city hall decide who is on committees as people who aid the COUNCIL in understanding things from a lived experience perspective. Who's the dick tator? Wake The F# Up. This isn't a joke. People are dying. City Hall's Bright Idea of being fair from 2020 and Tory who was not a Torie.

Tony Armstrong on Sky News - Selling off community assets is a "sugar rush" - generating a temporary high but causing long term damage to our communities. We're calling for a Community Right to Buy, giving community groups right of first refusal to buy much-loved local assets. We're also supporting the Save Birmingham campaign, who have helped residents nominate nearly 200 places for protection on the savebirmingham.org website. "The people of Birmingham and other places are not responsible for the problems their councils have got into, but they will be directly impacted if services, buildings and much-loved assets are taken away." Local community organisations positively impact the local economy - providing jobs, getting people into training and supporting mental health. Councils need to build partnerships with them to create sustainable solutions for the future. Read the five big reforms we're calling on the next government to make in the Locality Building Thriving Neighbourhoods Manifesto: https://lnkd.in/eXnTa6wr #localgov #birmingham #community #SaveOurSpaces

At this time of huge challenge for many of our Local Authorities, we must all support this initiative to protect our Community Assets and ensure the Community gets every chance to shape and develop them in the future. I have a huge respect to Tony Armstrong and the wonderful team at Locality for championing this cause and raising awareness nationwide, and here in Birmingham. Birmingham City Council have struggled for many years to support a cohesive and collaborative approach to Community Asset Transfers, with a few notable exceptions (Witton Lodge Community Association and Norton Hall among them) Across the border in Sandwell, Sandwell Council supported the development of North Smethwick Development Trust at the Brasshouse- another great example of what can be achieved when Councils work in harmony with Community Groups and Charities. Kingsbridge Community Sports and others learned the hard way just how hard it can be to achieve a successful and effective Asset Transfer. Councils like Birmingham City Council need their Third Sector counterparts even more in times like these. Assets that Councils can no longer afford to maintain (like Holders Lane Sports Ground in Birmingham) should be transferred into reliable community ownership, protected and preserved in perpetuity for the benefit and wellbeing of present and future communities. Birmingham must move on from the past political backbiting, and shady dealings and begin a new era of transparency and accountability, building trust, openness and collaboration. Once these assets (buildings as well as green-spaces) are sold off, they can never be regained. #communityengagement #assetprotection #communityfirst #communityaction Fields in Trust #wellbeing https://lnkd.in/eZ9kAim2
