Today I asked Min Social Dev & Housing about the plan to address actual housing solutions for homeless and housing insecure Islanders. Without a plan and $ we are looking at a third year of renting motel rooms to safely house our homeless this winter. #peipoli #peihousingcrisis
There has been some increase in temp but critical supports like emergency shelters - but we cannot reduce or eventually eliminate homelessness if we don& #39;t build social housing with #housingfirst principles. We need to do both.
