Description

The Dream Team is a quasi-independent membership-driven group of HLMS. The membership consists of people with live experience of mental health and addiction issues. They are an advocacy group, whose members use their personal life experiences to advocate for the further development of supportive and affordable housing. The Dream Team operates peer support and peer worker programs among some of its members.

Dream Team Major Contributions to Mental Health and Homelessness:
•The Dream Team was successful in challenging discriminatory bylaws involving group homes in four cities.

•"Zoning out discrimination. Working Towards Housing Equality in Ontario", written by Jessica Simone Roher, appears in the Journal of Law and Social Policy
•Produced reports such as “We are Neighbours” and contributed towards a New Bill of Rights
•Part of the research team regarding the “Safe at Home” Report, which led to the creation of popular “Housing Unit Takeovers” (H.U.Ts) presentations.

•Developing bylaws,
•Creating operational processes,
