Status quo on homeless is unsustainable

,

Letter to editor from Chief Elsner on homelessness in our region.

Our elected officials are working hard to make headway in the search for lasting solutions to Victoria’s homelessness crisis, while individuals and groups have spoken out clearly about anticipated impacts that temporary shelters could have on their neighbourhoods. My hope is that this debate will result in meaningful progress in the future.
