Community Safety and Well-Being Plan
Consultation has concluded
The City of Hamilton and community partners have developed a Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) Plan for Hamilton. Hamilton’s Community Safety and Well-Being Plan was unanimously adopted by Hamilton City Council on June 23, 2021. Review the plan here.
Under the Province's Safer Ontario Act, 2018 municipalities are required to develop a Community Safety & Well-being Plan using the provincial government’s Community Safety and Well-Being Framework.
A Community Safety and Well-Being Plan aims to create the community conditions where:
- Everyone is safe and has a sense of belonging
- Everyone has access to services; and
- Individual and families can meet their needs for education, health care, food, housing, income, and social and cultural expression.
Hamilton’s Community Safety and Well-Being Priorities
Community partners identified six local priorities for further investigation and collaboration that are included in Hamilton’s Community Safety and Well-Being Plan. These priorities are:

What does a safe community look like to you?
over 3 years agohappy1over 3 years agoA safe community is one where I am able to walk around without being judged in my neighbourhood
0 comment2KLHabout 3 years agoCity Council, Police Boards, School Boards, and other places of power are representative of the community they serve.
None of the places of power in our city are representative of the communities they serve. There is a long history of power hoarding in this city and intentional ignoring of marginalized communities and communities living in poverty. Social services have been left to non-profit agencies who are underfunded and under supported, while outlying, privileged suburbs receive updated infrastructure and services. Gentrification without intentional planning for affordable housing continues to compound the issues of crime and poverty across the city. When the necessary voices are not in a place to be heard or have influence, it is easy for councilors to ignore the needs of the most vulnerable. The homeless, the hidden homeless, and those of low socio economic status are all part of our community, yet we continually use the police enforcement to ensure they have no place rather than listening to their concerns and addressing their needs. Our Black, Indigenous, People of Colour, LGTBQ+, and disabled citizens are part of our community, yet our city policies do not reflect this. Systemic Racism is so embedded in the Hamilton culture and there is a refusal to acknowledge this issue. Our marginalized citizenry is not safe and are victimized by the highest levels of power in Hamilton every day. Until there is representation and acknowledgment of the pervasive biases reflected in the current places of power, this city will never feel safe to all of its citizens.
0 comment5allie.hannabout 3 years agoSafe Community
A safe community means no more homeless encampments and overflowing shelters because the homeless have been housed as part of a housing-first strategy. It means no more used needles on the sidewalks, in public parks, and on schoolgrounds because addicts are getting proper addictions treatment. It means no more mental health crises resulting in unnecessary escalation and deaths because proper funding for mental health care is in place.
1 comment2KLHabout 3 years agoSafe Injection Sites, Transitional Housing, Brave solutions to chronic homelessness - Particularly in hub and mobile style models.
The privileged citizenry of Hamilton are terrified of methods of harm reduction that have a long research-based history of success. The city of Hamilton continues a NIMBY campaign rather than embracing solutions that work. Suburban and privileged citizenry need to be educated about services that reduce the impact of drug use and homelessness in their communities. Well funded and managed safe injection sites reduce overdoses, keep needles out of parks, and provide immediate intervention to those who need it. Drug use will not go away by refusing to provide safe services. Nor will it disappear through gentrification. Like in other, wealthier areas, drug use will simply be diverted to parks, woodlands, alleys, and parking lots. Educate the community rather than giving in to the "pearl clutchers". Sometimes the government has to do what is good for the community rather than what makes everyone happy. This is where the Hamilton city government continues to fail. Recognize that the shelter system is not a safe place to live. It victimizes and causes trauma to those who are caught up in chronic homelessness, causing them to live in tents, doorways, alleys, etc. Get creative about solutions and look at the myriad of unique, successful solutions that have been implemented across north america and europe using modular housing, "pod" shelters, etc. Also recognize that pet ownership with the shelter population is a safety measure. Their pet is often the only safe emotional connection/companion and crucial to their wellbeing. Account for that when funding services and building policies. Provide the funding and infrastructure for non-profits to engage in Hub style service delivery so that the homeless population doesn't have to spend hours traveling all over the city for food, healthcare, and services. Being homeless and/or being reliant on city social services is exhausting and counterproductive to people getting off of social assistance programs. There is a huge body of research related to the intersection of public transportation and accessing food/community services. If we actually want to reduce tax spending on homelessness and poverty, then we need to invest upfront to prevent detrimental cycles. When people don't feel cared about or valuable in their community, they will not care about or value the community itself. Why should the care that we don't like their tent in our park, when we shun them, spit on them, and don't value them enough to provide the help they actually need, rather then the help we think they need?

Hate Incidents
about 3 years agoCommunity safety and well-being cannot be addressed in isolation by any one institution, organization, sector, or individual; it needs all our collective action. Hearing a range of perspectives will give us the best possible chance to find creative, meaningful and appropriate solutions to complex issues facing Hamilton.
Please reflect on your own personal stories and experiences with hate when answering the following question:
What do you see as practical next steps that can be taken as a community, individual or organization, to address hate incidents?
KLHabout 3 years agoMessaging from the top down and funding from the bottom up.
Researchers across North America and Europe recommend that messaging and behaviour president must come from those in government and law enforcement. Those in places of power must condemn acts of hate and more importantly hate motivated thinking processes and attitudes. Less than one third of all hate incidents are reported to police, which means the numbers reported each year represent a fraction of victims. Fear of retaliation, fear of further victimization by police, language barriers, and a lack of understanding are the top reasons why people don't report. People in power need to live the message and hand the power to grassroots movements and non-profit organization to mobilize and collaborate to ensure services are in place to support victims and intervene with perpetrators. Governments and law enforcement agencies need to be prepared to recognize that their policies and practice are directly prohibiting victims from reporting and be ready to make difficult and sweeping changes. Tokenism and messages of "togetherness" are not enough to solve hate crime. It is no secret in Hamilton that bias, racist, and oppressive practices are rampant in city council and police services; why would a victim report victimization to their abuser? A prime example of this is the current issue with HWDSB Trustees. It is clear from a victim perspective that racism is okay in hamilton and in hamilton schools. Studies are clear that this type of power hoarding and intentional disregard will perpetuate hate motivated thinking and behaviours among perpetrators. Further, hate crime will not be impacted in any meaningful way until there are sweeping changes in the police service. Year after year we see the treatment of marginalized citizens by police and rail against the overconfidence, power hungry, and militant practices. Yet, nothing changes and the city continues to cling to old ideas of law enforcement. Every time there is an incident such as the recent video of police lunging at a trans woman who was simply trying to explain her side of a story, there is a baffled response by government and police. That officer victimized an individual that is in a demographic that experiences the most violent forms of hate crime. Why would she report to police? Our police service and their practices perpetuate violence in our city and are nowhere near being able to address hate crime in any meaningful way. Such behaviour by officers is clearly acceptable and encouraged, otherwise it wouldn't happen, particularly when the officer knows they are on camera. It is important to note that hate crime has a reverberation effect that can be global in nature. This means that every victim who saw that video is now less likely to report to police and more likely to be victimized again. They are more likely to experience trauma and not recieve supports. When we call for defunding police, we don't mean get rid of the police. We mean redirect the overabundance of funding that allows for the purchasing of militarizing equipment and capital purchases to projects such as this that require significant, long term, sustainable funding of non-profits and grassroots groups to prevent incidents, support victims, educate the public, and intervene with perpetrators. Police would have to be involved less if the Hamilton City government adopted funding policies that were based on research and not fear.

Leaders of our community need to be empowered to uphold a standard of social inclusion and to take a stand against hate whenever they see it. They also need to be held accountable when they do not model a spirit of inclusivity and equity. Hate has no place in Hamilton, and hate crimes need to be addressed by our city, not just buried.
0 comment6Richasabout 3 years agoDefund the HPS
The HPS (Hamilton police) have been shown to be guilty of targeting vulnerable populations and minorities in Hamilton. We need to start defunding them and re allocating the funds to help our community. They only act as bullies protecting private property. They do not help our community. The force has a huge systemic racism and sexism problem that cannot be solved with more money. It is deep rooted. We need new systems to address our community's issues.

0 comment3KLHabout 3 years agoProvide sustainable long term funding to programs and services that are shown to reduce violence.
Violence is the symptom and not the problem. Violence is born out of fear and a battle to maintain a place of power. Gang warfare, domestic violence, hate crime, etc. all come from the same place. This must start from ensuring that everyone has access to basic needs, an opportunity to grow and thrive in education, and an equitable opportunity to access post secondary education. It must then continue through to providing long-term, comprehensive programs and services that provide intervention services to individuals who exhibit violent behavior. Incarceration alone will only perpetuate violent behaviour and support the individual's narrative that "the system" is against them. Recognize that violence generally happens in the communities that are most in need. This should be no surprise given the well studied factors that contribute to criminality and violence. The city does not actively work with the members of these communities in any meaningful way to determine the needs of the community and what the male youths (largest demographic of violent behaviour) are experiencing that pushes them towards exhibiting violent behaviour. Because violence is a symptom, it cannot be solved in a silo and must be considered in a socio-cultural context. Why are young, male, racialized groups engaging in violence? Why are young white males engaged in violence towards racialized groups? They are fighting to keep whatever power and resources they have or fighting to get what they don't have. We must address the issues of poverty and oppression before violence can be address. A final point of thought is that the City and the POlice service must set the example and live by an anti-violence framework. This means that policing must change the way it is interacting in these communities and community services/grassroots groups must be supported financially and politically to carry out the work that is needed. It may feel counterproductive, but violence is not a law enforcement issue. It is first and foremost a societal issue that requires a social solution.
0 comment0Joshua Bellabout 3 years agoAwareness and Resources
Better resources made available to prevent all type of violent incidences from ones including police to ones that are out of the ordinary and need more assistance. Better awareness as well to such incidences when they take place so that others that may have been affected in the community feel safe around the area still.
0 comment0KellyCabout 3 years agoMental health care, harm reduction services, income supports and affordable, supportive housing
Have more in-depth free mental health care for those committing violent crimes. Have early interventions and counselling for perpetrators and victims of domestic violence. Offer harm reduction services for this with substance use disorders. Get people into appropriate affordable housing. Lift people out of poverty by advocating to increase minimum wage Ontario works and ODSP rates. .

hamiltoningabout 3 years agoPolice should not attempt a mental health related interaction without the presence of a medical professional.
Police officers are trained to ensure the public's compliance through escalating threats and application of violence. These escalation based methods often do not work well with someone experiencing a mental health crisis. Where there are reasonable grounds to suspect someone is undergoing a mental health crisis, the police should avoid interaction until a qualified medical professional is on the scene.
0 comment1TempistMacLeodabout 1 year agoNon-Profit Organization known for their dedication, passion, and devotion to our community!
Grenfell Ministries, for the last 3 Year's, has strived, and pushed forward through many obstacles, and challenges, when it comes to our community and our city. From Mental Health, Trauma, Homelessness, Transitioning back into a 'normal' routine/life style, Addictions, and helping those once incarcerated, by transitioning them into a healthier, better living life, and to show eagerness, and a will to strive to do good! Peer-Support workers at Grenfell Ministries, are a dire need, when it comes to Addiction, mental health and even trauma! We at Grenfell Ministries, have numerous relatable lived experiences, where Support is a HUGE factor when it comes to everyone's attention, and just how important, and crucial, having any kind of positive, 'you can do it', Support really is. Having a Support program in our community, that is accessible to anyone, of all ages? A peer support worker who is available 24-7, and be able to ensure growth, and have that feeling of reassurance, trust, and just knowing someone cares, understands, and helps show you a better meaning, understanding, and comfortability, goes a LONG way. Grenfell Ministries, has saved lives, brought communities together, they've inspired so many other individuals, as well helped them along the way to their goals, achievements, and decisions. Where we couldn't be more proud, or feel more good inside, seeing our program participants, reach their life goals, and make their decisions, the right ones, for their future ahead. #STIGMASUCKS #GRENFELLMINISTRIESISHEREFORYOU

0 comment3Improvementsneededabout 3 years agoLimit amount of rentals per an owner/investment group to make home ownership a level playing field
There should a limit on the number of homes a person can own for rental purposes, and even in investment groups the number home homes should be limited to one per a house hold, ( so a both spouses in a household could only own one income property combined not one each) and (only one per house hold in an investment group eg. even if husband and wife were in two separate investment groups only one could own a rental property) this would help keep home prices affordable by flattening demand and help make home ownership attainable to more people.

escarpmentabout 3 years agoAdvocate to the Province for increased ODSP rates
Our social contract essentially dictates that people who want money must work for it. Exceptions are made for those whose doctors affirm their disability is a barrier to work. In those cases, we support them with monthly ODSP payments, but they amount to less than 2/3 the poverty line. That is an injustice. Increasing ODSP rates to the poverty line would increase the provincial budget by around $2b annually but that's a challenge we must embrace. Advocate for new tax brackets at the top level of incomes if necessary.
0 comment0allie.hannabout 3 years agoInterim support for those who ‘fall through the cracks.’
Many people cannot access existing income supports at federal and provincial levels because they do not qualify, have used up their entitlements, are waiting long timeframes for decisions to be reached, or do not have the tools to navigate complex processes. The city needs to make interim income and social support available so people do not fall through the cracks and have to face eviction, hunger, family separation or unnecessary hardships.
0 comment1ozphotoabout 3 years agoSidewalks to Be Plowed
It is time for sidewalks to be plowed. The elderly especially need access for than most. This issue has been batted around on council forever. Despite that Ancaster residents pay for sidewalk clearing, this option should also be available to other areas. It is especially important that sidewalk routes to schools be cleared. It is time to act on this, it is a access and a safety issue for all.
0 comment0KLHabout 3 years agoSupport for a Universal Basic Income and equitable access to post secondary education
Access to adequate income is a symptom of a much larger systemic problem. The City needs to actively join the voices of social services and citizens calling for the Provincial and Federal Government to step up and provide a universal basic income. Families works several jobs and still can't make ends meet. "Pulling up the boot straps" and working more is not a solution to earning more. Whether an individual is supported by Ontario Works or multiple jobs, they do not have the supports they need to meet their needs. OW perpetuates a cycle that is nearly impossible to get out of permanently. The City must champion our low-socioeconomic status citizens to our provincial and federal government for a Universal Basic Income. The Federal Government determined that people need a minimum of $2000 per month to pay basic expenses. This still falls short considering the cost of rent and food in our city. It is impossible in this forum to go into all of the nuances of how the current social support system is oppressive and prohibits people from getting out but here are a few points; - Being forced to take out enormous loans to attend post secondary school is prohibitive. The cost of school is not the only barrier facing those who cannot afford tuition. Equitable solutions that ensure people have a safe place to live, reliable transportation to campus, food, and mental health supports is just the beginning. However the income gap between those who have post secondary and those who do not is enormous and telling. - When leaving the OW system for employment, people are forced to take jobs that do not provide medical benefits, sick time, or vacation. These "privileges" are necessary for success for those suffering from mental health and addiction. Eventually, low income jobs cause loss of home, lack of adequate food to keep working, and stopping expensive medications that manage mental health conditions. They are also exploited by employers who threaten to fire them if they take sick time due to mental health. - The traveling necessary to find and maintain work in the city is prohibitive. Spending hours on buses to get to interviews or to get to work shifts on time is expensive and leaves no time for the other supports necessary to their wellbeing such as counselling appointments, methadone clinics, A.A. meetings, psychiatrist appointments, doctors appointments, etc. -Accessing subsidised or affordable child care is nearly impossible and often results in traveling an hour in one direction to drop a child off, then travelling an hour in another direction to get to work. Then parents feel stressed about getting to pick up their child on time and punished when they can't because of transit. - Those who have multiple jobs spend time traveling between jobs, balancing the demands of multiple exploitive bosses, and experience significant health issues resulting from long term stress and neglect of health/mental health. People generally want to work and contribute to their communities in meaningful ways. Ensuring they can work and earn enough to support themselves, increases their capacity to contribute and reduces their reliance on emergency rooms, social services, etc. Again, the research is there. We just choose to ignore it. Canada is not the only country that studied this project.
0 comment0Smileworksabout 3 years agoConnect individuals to valuable resources - "You don't know what you don't know”
Income - regular work, part-time work, gig work, EI, social services, etc - how do we help get access to the right supports when that income is gone? It is often difficult to access financial supports when a job is lost, benefits end, families separate, or illness occurs. Just telling someone to apply for EI, OSAP, job retraining, ODSP or Ontario Works isn’t always enough. Not everyone qualifies, and sometimes we need to do more than just point, or tell someone to look at an unclear website, but instead EXPLAIN why and how. Some individuals or families are just past the cut-off threshold for support yet are struggling to pay for their home, food or transportation. Then what? What happens when individuals are unsure of WHAT questions to ask or WHO to ask to get access to a resource or service. Anyone can fall through the cracks because someone tells them NO and they don't know where to go next. This applies to youth and adults of all ages; educated or not, experienced or not - if someone tells you No, how many people just stop in their tracks? Then add in barriers. If individuals do not have family or community supports, do not feel safe, struggle with physical or mental health challenges, feel marginalized or racialized, will they push forward or feel that no one will listen? Why make individuals work so hard just to get the information they need? Most would help a friend learn about resources when they ask, so why not help our community? Create a "Resource Person" role within our city to help guide all individuals to the services they need. Make the role accessible virtually, over the phone or in person. This is not a social services worker or reception role, but a person who can actively assist individuals to learn how to access resources or services. We also need to consider how much work or how many "clicks" it takes to access a resource, and if it is accessible or clear to everyone. By providing a clearer path we can help individuals get to where they WANT to be, not where they end up.
