Province offers to pay moving bill for Esquimalt family at shelter

,

The Province of BC has reserved it’s earlier decision and has offered to pay the moving costs of a family currently living at Rock Bay Landing.

The Ministry of Social Development has reversed a previous decision and will pay moving costs for a family whose belongings were put in storage after they were evicted from their Esquimalt home. Jamie McComb, his wife, Amanda Dreher-McComb, and their three children have spent the past month in a family suite at Rock Bay Landing homeless shelter, but were set to move into an apartment later this week with financial help from the ministry.
