PENINSULA letter: We’re all affected by homelessness

,

Great letter to the editor of the Peninsula News by Brian Trotto of Saanichton.

Homelessness can happen anywhere to just about anyone. The very fact of being homeless means you can go wherever your homelessness can survive. Victoria has a homeless ‘industry’.  There are numerous services and organizations that try their best to alleviate the ongoing tragedy that homelessness brings to our lives … We elect governments to manage these things.
