The concern is for those individuals discbarged from psychiatrie hospitals who have no alternative but to secure sub- standard and/or inap- propriate accommno- dation. This problem 0of inadequate bousing covers a wide range of vuinerable people in- cluding victims of abuse, alcobolies, children and youtb, ex- offenders, the physically bandicapped and the elderly. The problem is aggravated further by the provincial and municipal levels of gover-nment disagree- ing over wbo bas the responsibility for these individuals in the com- munity. Thus, people in need often go wanting, with- out viable institutional or comniunity living alternatives, witb no one in charge, and witbout enforced stan- dards. The Parkdale district in Metro Toron- to has received a great deal of publicity in recent montbs because it has become a ghetto for ex-psychiatrie patients and other vuinerable populations who have littie or no bousing alternatives. This regional con- ference is one of seven scheduled to occur this faîl throughout the Province of Ontario.

TIP 0F THE WEEK A great idea was passed on to me by Patty Brown Scott, and I'd like to pas,*it on to you. Kill two birds witb one stone. Take ail your littie odds and ends of soap and put tbem into a mesb onion bag. Secure tbe top with a twist tie and leave it by the sink. Kids love to use it to wash their bands, and the rougber surface of tbe bag scours out even the worst ground in dirt from little fingers. P.S .. ..it works great on grown-up bands toc. I've comne to believe that it's not true that life is one dam tbing after another... it's one damn thing over and over and over.
