Resolution 2007-9

Homelessness

Whereas the provision of and access to adequate housing is a fundamental human right according to paragraph 25(1) of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights,

Whereas Canada’s wealth and national budget are more than adequate to ensure that every woman, child and man residing in Canada has secure, adequate, accessible and affordable housing as part of a standard of living that will provide healthy, physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual and social development and a good quality of life;

Be it resolved that CAP ensure that homelessness is a priority policy of the organization; and,

Be it further resolved that CAP pursue capacity building funding for CAP PTO’s to deliver programs for the homeless.
