There are more people in need than there is affordable housing, says city official, and most of them are from Sudbury
The By-Name priority list, a list compiled by the City of Greater Sudbury of vulnerable people in need of housing, is creeping up in number.
She told Sudbury.com it’s because there just isn’t enough affordable housing. The high cost of living means new evictions as well as difficulty housing those already on the By-Name list.“We're not seeing a lot of new people from out of town, the majority of people are people from our community,” said Spencer. “They are either being newly evicted or have been released from hospital or corrections.
Evictions also happened as newly housed people felt pressure to let others stay in their new home, even to their own detriment. “That's where we're seeing the gap, it’s between people on fixed income and the rising increase of rents,” she said. “That's causing a lot of pressure.” But the priority is still housing people, said Spencer, and to her, the By-Name list is a “great way to do so.”
But shelter space is at a premium. At city council’s April 17 community and emergency services committee meeting, Tyler Campbell, children and social services director, said that over the past year the Sudbury shelter system has been running close to capacity.
