Homelessness - A Problem

Homelessness is a problem

The Homeless are a problem

Good thing I am not one of ‘them’

Must be a real challenge to be safe, well fed and, I suppose, transportation must be a problem..

You know, getting to work…...wait…..

No address….no bank account….no bathroom facilities for getting ready for work…….clean clothes…..

So who has the problem?

The mayors of three cities to meet in a public forum here in Victoria to discuss the solutions that have been implemented in Medicine Hat, Alberta and in Eugene, Oregon.

Sorry about the fuzzy picture (more technical difficulties!) The poster reads:

HOMELESSNESS
FREE EVENT  - OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
MONDAY, MAY 30th
7PM (doors open at 6:30)

Speakers are:
Mayor Ted Chapman,
Medicine Hat, Alberta

Mayor Lisa Helps
Victoria, BC

Mayor Kitty Piercy
Eugene, Oregon

“The big issue here is not the accuracy of the count. 
It is what the city is doing to address street homelessness”
