She is a frequent commentator on issues related to health, homelessness and affordable housing. She is currently a visiting practitioner at Ryerson University. Early life and educationBorn in Cobourg, Ontario but raised in Kingston, Ontario, she went to Toronto to work and study at the Toronto General Hospital, where she received a diploma in nursing, in 1972.[1] In 1985, she received a Bachelor of Applied Arts in nursing, from Ryerson Polytechnic Institute.[1] In 1992, she received her Master of Education in Sociology, from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE).[1] She was married twice; with her last marriage, to former Metro Toronto Councillor Roger Hollander, ending in divorce in 1995.[2] She has a daughter and three grandsons. Community workShe came to public prominence as a "street nurse", a term coined in the early 1990s by a homeless man in the impoverished downtown Toronto area where she worked.[5] She is noted for her work with the homeless and poor populations in Canada's largest city, Toronto.[5] She is an activist for affordable housing, public health and social justice. In 1998, along with other social justice activists and academics, she co-founded the Toronto Disaster Relief Committee (TDRC).[5] 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.[5] 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.[5] Electoral politicsIn January 2010, Crowe entered electoral politics, by offering to run for the Ontario New Democratic Party, as their candidate in the February 4, 2010 by-election in the provincial riding of Toronto Centre.[3] At the ONDP's January 10, 2010 nomination meeting, her candidacy went uncontested. She faced Ontario Liberal Party's candidate, Glen Murray, and Pamela Taylor for the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party.[4][5] Crowe finished a strong second, doubling the NDP's vote totals by taking 33 percent of the popular vote.[6] She ran a second time in the 2011 provincial general election but lost to incumbent Glen Murray. For many years she worked closely with former Toronto City Councillor and leader of the federal NDP Jack Layton. She wrote the foreword to his book Homelessness. How to End the National Crisis which he co-authored with Michael Shapcott.
