Businesses call for action on homelessness, crime in downtown Moncton
Many of these demands have been presented before, such as in a report issued by the Community Task Force on Homelessness and Downtown Security in 2021.
“It’s obvious that where we have a gap is lack of mental health and addictions services on the ground and so we’re going to be looking at resourcing for more positions to ensure that we’re able to work with our shelter system to get people the help they need,” Shephard told reporters at a press conference on Friday afternoon.
“A lot of really good work is being done today, we have YMCA Reconnect, we have House of Nazareth, we have Harvest House. All kinds of good work, but they are all doing different work, so what we need now is to understand how those differences come together to give us the outcomes we want,” she said.
