1998

In 1998, along with other social justice activists and academics, she co-founded the Toronto Disaster Relief Committee (TDRC).

They brought public attention to homelessness, declaring it to be a man-made disaster, which in their view, qualified as a social welfare disaster requiring the same kind of response that governments give to natural disasters.

This human-disaster was the basis for the name of the group and many of its ideas.

The TDRC and Crowe promoted the idea of a "One Percent Solution" to end homelessness.

The one percent solution calls for each level of government to commit an additional one percent of their budget towards affordable, social housing.
