NLS joins other community legal clinics to urge municipal governments to adopt a human rights approach to homeless encampments

11/12/2023

 
NLS joined almost 30 other community legal clinics in an open letter to municipal governments across Ontario, urging a human rights based approach to homeless encampments, particularly as winter is almost here. This includes consulting with people who are sleeping outside, who are rights-holders under law, to find solutions that meet their needs. You can find this letter here.
