Home is where the heart is - and also a human right

Some say that home is where the heart is, but how does one say that when their heart is in two places? As a person who has moved back and forth a lot, from Ontario to Nova Scotia, I can say that sometimes home is not the place but the people you share it with. Moving has been hard but doing it with my family has made it more of an adventure! One thing that has always been true for me and my family is that, although we rent our Toronto home, we've always had a roof over our heads and a warm blanket on our bodies. I think that everyone should have affordable housing, because a roof over your head is not a privilege, it's a human right.
