72% Informative

ABC Vancouver is working to transform the Downtown Eastside , including more policing, more market housing, a freeze on supportive housing, and more scrutiny of non-profit service providers.

Recent weeks have seen a series of revelations about ABC ’s plans for the neighbourhood.

To many, including the hundreds of protesters who rallied outside city hall, these changes seem harmful and misguided.

A group of Chinatown business and cultural organizations wrote to support Sim ’s motion.

The letter argues that an increase in supportive housing in the neighbourhood over the past decade has not led to the desired outcomes of alleviating homelessness.

Sim : “I would like to hear from the Ministry of Housing and B.C. Housing .”.
