Ending Chronic Homelessness

[neonjoe]

Yea I can see how that can get tricky, ideally it would be some sort of housing - actually, how is the Big Tent City (I'm not sure that's the proper name) on Ardelt doing? Can the city do something like that?

The Region also did open up the second micro home site up near the Paramedic Headquarters after the initial court case. A Better Tent City is run by a volunteer organization on land donated by the WRDSB. I believe that the organization running the one on the region's land at the Paramedic headquarters is the Working Centre.
That being said, the micro home communities have similar rules and restrictions to shelters, the individual has to want to follow these rules to live in these places for the safety of all the residents. Some of the residents at Victora/Weber do not trust the system or want to abide by the rules placed on them. In those cases should the region be forced to provide a space that could be potentially harmful to the individual or there residents.
It's likely a losing battle either way for the cities/region. If they could at least have enough spaces for the individuals who would follow the rules it would be great and if there were provincial support to get the ones who need the mental/psychological health resources to be in a state to actually desire to follow the rules for the spaces it would be even better.
I'm a firm believer that Mental Health should be covered in the same was a Medical Health...
