Abbotsford first B.C. city to roll out rapid response teams to homeless camps
Stephanie Gauthier, executive director of the Central Okanagan Journey Home Society, will be among those paying “full attention” to developments in Abbotsford as the HEART model rolls out.
“It’s a positive move for the province. They have obviously heard the recommendations of communities like Kelowna and Abbotsford and others who work around that space that there is a huge need to have a multi-disciplinary team that is engaged and coming up with solutions.” “That’s the first thing…do a proper assessment of what their needs will be and then try to find solutions for these individuals as quickly as possible,” he said, adding actors in other models often fail to work together, despite the availability of resources.
