P.A.D.S. Community Advocacy Network

PADS stands by our commitment to holding governments accountable for their responsibility in this housing crisis. We demand an end to all encampment evictions. We demand the government take action toward Permanent, Accessible, Dignified, and Safer Housing for All.

HRM & the Province of NS continue to prioritize developers, investors, & landlords over the greater whole. They continue to deny their historic and unwavering role in the lack of public and affordable housing, rapidly growing poverty rates, and ever-increasing wealth inequality.

Despite their assertions, the HRM’s actions have failed to align with their public scripts.

Since issuing eviction notices to tent encampment residents on Feb. 7, HRM has released numerous statements and media interviews about their “ongoing efforts” to “support” community members experiencing homelessness.
