The ruling party at Vancouver City Hall vows to continue to fight to end homelessness by 2015.
This despite the latest numbers showing “street” homelessness has doubled over last year from 154 to 306.
Vision Vancouver Councillor Kerry Jang says the province has to take some of the blame for the spike – namely housing minister Rich Coleman – for closing emergency HEAT shelters…
“in fact he even made fun of Gregor a few times and he said things like well Gregor’s fixated on these shelters this is just one of his ideas they’re doing it for the election i call bullshit, i call bullshit on that.”
“Overall” homeless numbers are about the same as last year at 16-hundred.
