Description

Halifax Mutual Aid (HMA) describes itself as a group of people committed to taking action against homelessness by building small crisis shelters for those who need them. They also acknowledge these shelters are not a solution to the housing crisis. And recently, they've launched a fundraising initiative called a Gingerbread Story Kit. It's a way to build your family's understanding of the housing crisis with a kid-friendly baking kit. Campbell McClintock is spokesperson with HMA and he discusses the fundraiser, the booklet and the efforts of Halifax Regional Municipality and the Catholic Church to help the homeless.
