Blue Door is extremely saddened and disappointed to hear about the Supreme Court of the Unites States' ruling to not protect individuals experiencing homelessness. This decision allows cities to arrest or fine vulnerable individuals that have no choice but to sleep outdoors

Earlier this week we held a donor recognition event for the completion of construction on the Food for Good Café. We were honoured to be joined by @kristynwongtam, @ConstructGTA, @ONTrillium, donors, and community members to celebrate this incredible milestone.

The Supreme Court will soon reach a decision in the #JohnsonVGrantsPass case, answering the question of whether all people in the United States are truly protected by the Constitution or if cities have the right to penalize individuals facing homelessness.
