The report found:

1) Gaetan Heroux’s work for the PAID program over 10 years was exemplary and reflective of best practices in provision of services to homeless and under housed people.

2) The evidence we heard strongly suggests that moving Heroux out of the Street Health Offices was done in response to his support for the Street Health CUPE unionization drive and not for the reasons given by Neighbourhood Link.

3) Moving administrative and follow-up work to the Neighbourhood Link office in Scarborough has and is very likely to continue to negatively affect the clients of the PAID program in the Dundas-Sherbourne neighbourhood.

TCHC caves on tenant’s 30% rent increase!

Today, one day after OCAP’s public call-out to help Edmundo DeSousa make his rent after TCHC increased it by 30%, the City’s Largest Slumlord has caved: TCHC has apologized to Edmundo, and set his rent back to the original amount!

So, there’s no longer need for Friday’s protest/rent party at TCHC head office on this case. However, those who miss this notice and still show up on Friday will find some Victory Muffins.

While this is yet another victory for TCHC tenants fighting back, it’s still not known how many other poor tenants around the city could be facing such egregious rent increases as TCHC exploits a legal loophole to avoid even the lowest private market standards of social responsibility.

Stop the TCHC from raising Edmundo DeSousa's rent by 30%!
