Facing Homelessness, or the threat of? image 1

Are you finding yourself facing or already living a scenario you never really imagined? Homelessness. -Did your landlord sell your house to due to the pandemic? -Did you loose your job and get evicted because you couldn't pay rent? Or couldn't pay your mortgage and lost your house? -Are you are and your kids sleeping on a friend's floor? Or couch? Or in your minivan? These are just a few desperate situations I've seen over again from friends and family lately. I'm horrified when I think about how many people there are/will be homeless in 2020/2021. The situation is widespread and devastating. And I feel our governments are overlooking the ordeal entirely. In February 2021, I'm going to release a short film and web campaign that showcases real people, including myself, and a glance into our desperate situations we're currently living. As a sort of plea to our govt. to do something.... For example: allow rental subsidies for people on income assistant, enforce rental rate caps, pause increases to property taxes, create emergency housing units, and pausing evictions for families with children. Right now I feel we're invisible, We need them to see with their own eyes to get their attention. If you would like to help with this cause please send me an email. I will compile our short stories into a video, and I will send everyone involved the draft, and get your input on edits, to ensure everyone is 100% okay with the video before it is posted online. (Please note - we can look at ways to protect your privacy if this is a concern to you) I ask that anyone who wants to be involved please email me by the end of January. I am hoping to have the video and campaign released in early February. Together I think we can capture the attention of enough people, media outlets, and our govts to make a difference. We need to make some noise! Please contact me if you wish to contribute! Warmest regards!
