📧 SAMPLE LETTER (Copy & Paste)
Subject: Open Letter: Joint Public Forum Request — 6-Month Housing Plan
Dear Federal MP, Provincial MLA, Mayor and Council,
I am writing to formally request that all three levels of government meet together in one public, recorded forum to answer a single urgent question:
What is the 6-month plan to house the thousands of people currently experiencing homelessness in our region?
Not a 10-year strategy.
Not projected units for 2035.
Six months.
Homelessness is happening now. Women are being turned away from shelters. People are being denied safe spaces to sleep. Many residents have personally experienced being turned away.
Housing responsibility is divided across three levels of government:
- Federal — funding and financing through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation
- Provincial — BC Housing, health services, social supports
- Municipal — zoning, permits, and land use
When these levels do not coordinate in real time, people fall through the cracks.
During floods, fires, and pandemics, governments act quickly. Funds are released. Buildings are secured. Timelines are immediate.
Homelessness is a public health and human emergency. It deserves the same urgency.
Therefore, I am requesting:
- A joint public forum including all three levels of government.
- A recorded session accessible to the public.
- A clear written 6-month action plan outlining:
- Immediate unit acquisition (hotels, vacant buildings, modular housing)
- Funding already available
- A timeline with measurable milestones
If people can be counted, they can be housed.
Please confirm whether you will participate in such a forum and provide proposed dates within the next 30 days.
Respectfully,
[Your Name]
[Your Postal Code]
📢 BLOG CALL-TO-ACTION (You Can Post This)
I have sent my letter.
Now I am asking others to send theirs.
The more residents who send this request, the harder it becomes to ignore.
We are not asking for 10-year promises.
We are not asking for future projections.
We are asking one question:
What is the 6-month plan?
Copy the letter above.
Add your name and postal code.
Send it to your federal MP, your provincial MLA, and your mayor and council.
CC them all so they see each other copied.
Coordination should not take 10 years.
If 5,000 people can be counted, they can be housed.
The more who send, the stronger the demand.
