The government recent miraculous (clearly it easily could have been done before) (didn't need #covid_19 to happen) housing of the homeless is presented as a success story, but they are not telling you about the deaths.

The "housing" provided is NOT protected by the Residential Tenancy Act; and is nothing more than Soft Incarceration; without the supports these people need and deserve.

They have been given beads, bobbles, and blankets; in exchange for their possessions, liberties, and for some already, their lives. #RIP

Decampment of Topaz Park and Pandora Avenue Corridor

www.pivotlegal.org/decampment_of_topaz_park_and_pandora_a...

 

The City of Victoria is evicting the homeless from pandemic friendly, self-isolating, camp sites; forcing them to move to a temporary encampment in Topaz Park, which provides no opportunity for social distancing or proper hygiene; from where they plan on moving them again, into a large stadium setting which amounts to warehousing of the homeless in a confined setting; again, not COVID-19 friendly.

One of the camps being emptied is the Humans of Beacon Hill Park Community, who live unobtrusively with little objection from the community. The move would place them at higher risk of contracting coronavirus.
