February 27: Make housing part of the conversation this Ontario election

The Ontario election will take place February 27, 2025.

We urge you to vote if you are eligible, to encourage everyone in your life to vote, and to keep Ontario's housing crisis in mind when you cast your vote.

Unhoused Ontarians have the same right to vote as those who are housed. Learn how shelters, drop-ins, food banks, and community health centres can help unhoused Ontarians vote if they don't have ID, using this printable resource from Diana Chan McNally.

The Alliance has prepared some social media graphics you can use to show your support for making sure housing is part of the conversation.
