Asylum Seekers And Homelessness (Mike Morency & Ejay Tupe interview)

Our guests on this episode are Ejay Tupe, director of Toronto Urban Mission Hub in downtown Toronto and Mike Morency, executive director of Matthew House – Windsor. We will be talking about a story that began unfolding this past summer when over 200 refugee claimants from African nations found themselves sleeping on the streets. Many were outside a homeless support centre at 129 Peter St. in downtown Toronto. There seemed to initially be a funding stalemate between levels of government.Into the crisis, three churches got involved directly by opening up their buildings to provide shelter, food, and support.·      Revivaltime Tabernacle·      Pilgrim Feast Tabernacle·      Dominion Church InternationalThis story eventually leads to some of the asylum seekers ending up served by Matthew House in Windsor.
