The Green Line team spent the day with a Toronto man who shared stories of his time being homeless in the city- including what life was like for him and how he finally found housing.
Mousef is one of the strongest men and amazing stories I heard in long time. I cherish this peace. My middle eastern mom died in dtes 3 weeks ago. Keep fighting for your rights Mousef!
Homelessness is a POLICY CHOICE made by our elected representatives and the people who vote for them. There is absolutely no reason in a country as wealthy as Canada for people to be living on the street or in overcrowded shelters.
Hes been there for 10 yrs no mentiin why he couldnt work etc.He seemed balanced n not mentally ill and he was young and still is when he arrived.Confusing?
Shelters are not a happy place. Treating people inhumanely results in them acting inhumanely as well, and thats how it goes, endlessly. The moral here is, human beings are inhumane.
This story is non existent for most women in the system. Also lack of employment supports and life planning disables individuals' potential so working and saving money and then buying a home is not what homeless people think.
