Ward 4 candidate Geoff McCausland says he’s been getting a lot of questions about what the city has been doing to address homelessness
Over the Thanksgiving Weekend, I was reminded of how blessed I am, and how much my family and I have to be thankful for.
Homelessness was front and centre during the pandemic, and I couldn’t stand the feeling of sitting at home in a warm house knowing that there were so many people left outside in the cold. Our community’s most vulnerable were either alone in this uncertain time or gathered in encampments. Normal support services were suddenly closed, new capacity limits and rules were being enforced, and many were fearful of getting each other sick.
Mr. De Jong let us know that there are no “quick fixes”, that we needed a more co-ordinated response, and to focus on person-centred efforts if we wanted to make a real impact. He also recommended that council resource five different initiatives that would make an impact, and we agreed to support every recommendation.
Planning staff, under council direction, have also been working to identify any barriers to building affordable/attainable housing, and have made changes to our zoning bylaw that encourage the creation of secondary units, laneway houses and tiny homes.
