Former residents of the East Hastings Street encampment who tried returning to the area over the weekend had city crews chase them out once again, says Ryan Sudds, an organizer with the Stop The Sweeps Coalition.
“People don’t really have the capacity to go from shelter to shelter, checking to see what’s open or has space,” said York. “And don’t have email or data or a phone to check. Especially in the pouring rain.”
The 92-bed shelter run by Union Gospel Mission had already been turning away people for months before the decampment.Article content UGM spokesperson Nicole Mucci said that finding space for people can be complicated, it can mean having to match individuals to shelters according to different backgrounds or needs, from gender to having experienced violence or just needing storage for belongings.Conservative estimates by the Vancouver Police Department had about one-third of the 80 tents left on Hastings Street with some connection to criminal activity, Sim said Monday.
“When you look at it holistically, when you look at the whole area, we were finding spaces,” said Sim. “It may not have been right there, per se, but down the street or in a different neighbourhood, there were spaces.”
