HLTH101 Final: Advocacy Letter
Document Summary
Minister of health and long-term care and deputy premier. I would first like to offer my sincerest congratulations on your appointment as ontario"s minister of health and long-term care and deputy premier. By way of introduction, i am a first-year student at queens university enrolled in health 101; the study of social determinants of health. Through learning how social determinants effect the health of populations, my understanding of health inequalities has become more apparent. Specifically, the housing crisis in canada captured my attention. I understand that policies like the national housing strategy, housing first, and ontario"s. Poverty reduction strategy have been implemented with the objective of ending homelessness in. These strategies have been employed as long-term solutions that offer homeless individuals with affordable/funded public housing. These programs sound promising as approaches like the national housing strategy plan to cut chronic homelessness by 50% and construct 100,000 new affordable homes in the next 10 years.
