KDSB Looking At Homeless And Housing Issue

It’s going to cost a few bucks but it’s something that’s needed in the Kenora District.
The Services Board has been told to come up with a 10-year plan to address the homelesness and housing issues facing the region.
CAO Dan McNeil says a number of groups will be involved.
McNeil says service providers need to be consulted to ensure their is no dublication of services.
KDSB Chair Barry Baltesson says fixing the problem is a team effort.
He notes there’s a lack of integration of services and a lack of understanding among community groups.
Baltesson says the plan will include the social issues behind the homeless problem.
The province has asked for the strategy but has provided no funding.
