Currently working as a labourer on Nootka Island, territory of the Nuchatlaht, who won Aboriginal Title to the land just last year. I am slowly returning to a state of wellness so I can rejoin the struggle to end homelessness in Victoria, BC.

That looks awesome, Ryan.
I know two women who have been homeless in a shelter for over one year. Neither do drugs. Are you able to find out if this service hub has had the unintended effect of priorizing people who live on the street, or people who live in shelters, for housing?

“Too often, shelters and transitional programs lack privacy, support, doors that lock, adequate hygiene facilities, and basic requirements that most people associate with the concept of housing. These inadequacies prevent healing, family reunification, wellbeing and community connections.”
