This week on The Gritty Nurse Podcast, we're diving deep into a topic that's should not be considered revolutionary--but is fundamentally human and morally ethical: the idea that a safe, stable and affordable housing should be considered a prescription for health.

Tune in as we discuss: The core principles of social medicine and why it's gaining traction in healthcare. The state of homelessness in our in the GTA and how current trends reflect broader issues.

Why housing is fundamentally a human right, and what that truly means for policy and practice. Inspiring wins and success stories, like the impactful work of Dunn House, demonstrating what's possible when we prioritize housing. Practical actions the average person can take to support those who are unhoused in their communities.
