💖3 small scale tips to make your neighbourhood more inclusive for those who are unhoused💖

1. Say hello! Introduce yourself to the unhoused folks in your neighborhood.
✨
2. Read up on what resources are available in your neighborhood. Drop in centres? Safe consumption sites? Learn what is around even if you might not use them personally.
✨
3. Offer these resources (with consent!) always take the lead of the person you’re engaging with. If they don’t want your help, don’t take offence. Community building is not about being a saviour or pushing our help on to someone. Meet people where they are at and honour their autonomy.
✨
