Homelessness Plan For Kenora District

The Kenora District Services Board is being told to come up with a homelessness plan.
The directive comes from the Provincial Government and must be completed by January 2014.
Diane Apland is the Director of Integrated Social Services for the KDSB and says work will begin in 2013, with a consultation in each community.
Apland says major centres in the Kenora District face a major housing shortage and she expects the plan to address that situation.
She adds that they haven’t received any specific information on what needs to be addressed in the plan.
