\u0022I’m tired of the pointing fingers and picking at us like we’re doing something wrong, because we’re not,” STC chief Mark Arcand said.
While he thanked business owners who have stepped up to offer support since the STC first opened an emergency shelter downtown late last year, he was direct about the disdain he feels for those who have chosen instead to write complaints to the city.We deliver the local news you need in these turbulent times on weekdays at 3 p.m.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
Arcand said he wants the second building used for healthier people who would likely be able to quickly move to permanent housing with the right supports. Realistically, some portion of it will likely have to be used as overflow for the emergency shelter, with separate wings of the facility for men, women and families, he added.
Looking even further to the future, he suggested there should be at least one shelter facility in each of the city’s 10 wards, to avoid the concentration of services that can lead to complaints, and in recognition that homelessness happens everywhere in the city.Article content
