The Lethbridge Housing Association is pushing for zoning changes that would allow the organization to offer 24-hour service at two of its properties.
"We want to provide 24 hour supports, including security in the evenings and more of a social work or community work-type team during the day, to ensure that people can stay safely and affordably housed in our units," said LHA chief administrative officer Robin James.
"It would actually help keep them housed, because there's someone at the front door that’s not allowing negative behaviours to come into the building, and not allowing illegal activities and those sorts of things that would actually put a tenancy at risk," said James.On Monday, the Downtown Lethbridge Business Revitalization Zone sent out a letter to its members regarding the desire for rezoning.
