Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim announced an end to approvals of net new supportive housing.

Jill Atkey : Announcement without a plan puts lives at risk.

She says housing affordability and the required supports are regional challenges that require regional solutions.

Vancouver is a leader in supportive housing approvals and development, but perhaps not to the scale that a city with five hospitals might be expected to deliver.
