THUNDER BAY — Organizations that provide outreach services to people without a permanent home have never seen a situation such as the one they're witnessing this summer in Thunder Bay.
"But it's also related to the housing shortage that we're experiencing. We're seeing people coming into town hoping to access services or resources because they're struggling in their own communities, and finding out that the struggle is here as well." "Because we've seen a number of violent episodes, a number of things happen where people have been poorly treated simply because they are struggling in life. There's also a lot of worry every time it rains heavily, or the weather turns. We've got about another 60 days of tolerable weather, and then it can turn so bad."
Green may drop by with breakfast, dry socks, harm reduction supplies, or a sleeping bag, but on other occasions he finds that his clients just need someone to talk to and connect with. "There are so many organizations out there. Norwest, PACE, Métis Nation of Ontario, Indigenous Friendship Centre, Shelter House. We all try to work with each other. I'm just going off the top of my head."
