Here’s what we know: people with disabilities/disabled people are not receiving the type of support the CRPD and human rights demand. Everyone’s fighting for the same piece of pie. What we need is one pie that everyone can draw from by way of an insurance model of support #NDIP

"The number of people on Ontario Works (#OW) and the Ontario Disability Support Program (#ODSP) who are also experiencing homelessness has shot up 72 percent since 2019, according to a new report from human rights organization #Maytree. In its newest policy brief released this week, the organization — which describes itself as “committed to advancing systemic solutions to poverty and strengthening civic communities” — says that more than 30,000 people using these programs don’t have stable housing. Those figures, based on provincial government data obtained through a freedom of information request, measure from July of 2019 to July of 2025." cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/o…
