See more people having a place to sleep. Some of them are passing out at church; I see them at

More stable long term resources; less transition. The fire pit is great for food.

pharmacy.
Hurry up with RIS, It'll allow me to go home.
More homeless drop ins. More social houses for low income families. Welfare not to question

[X] is a wonderful person. Fire Pit has a comfortable, friendly, family feel to it.
More funding, cheaper rent.
I just want a home.
More money for welfare.
Something like BC housing, not so much structure. City Bus houses, pet friendly, pick
something you can be responsible for.
Better housing, low income housing. In Kamloops they have the ASK society, where people can
do drugs or whatever they want. But the shelter here is better, you can come in and sit down.
"You can't even get a coffee there" that says it all. They boot you out at 7AM. Everyone's
entitled to a certain amount of rent, why not build something that is affordable.
