Moncton, N.B. mayor optimistic about federal and provincial housing initiatives
Arnold, who has been a vocal critic of the province’s handling of Moncton’s growing homelessness issue, said she now feels optimistic about collaboration between the province and the city.
“ has really stepped up in a significant way and she has put the proper systems in place,” Arnold said.“It’s been a hard two to three years, it’s been a slog but we’ve worked very hard from an advocacy perspective and I believe the right players are around the table right now to effect the positive change that we desperately need in our community,” she said.
She said all four of Moncton’s shelters are now working with a federal system used to keep track of the number of homeless people in a city. “We are now going to be able to track each of these individuals and understand where there might have been duplication of counts, what their needs are, why they are going where they are,” she said.
The city’s newest shelter, the Moncton Lion’s Community Centre, hosts between 70 and 80 people each night, according to the province.
