Councillors doubt the province or B-C Housing will ever be able to provide enough safe, secure shelter for those who need it
Prince George councillors say that city’s large homeless encampment may be here for the long term, and they doubt the province or B-C Housing will ever be able to provide enough safe, secure shelter for those who need it.
Councillors made those comments last night as they approved changes to a local bylaw so they can create a centralized model for tent encampments. The change will allow the city to move homeless residents to a main tent encampment on Lower Patricia Boulevard and clean up camps elsewhere around Prince George.
A court ruling requires the city to allow the encampment on Lower Patricia Boulevard to continue until “suitable” housing is found for the homeless – even though staff say there is no definition of “suitable.”
