The province is looking to get a better picture of the homeless situation in BC.
12 communities will be conducting homeless counts during the next month, including Sechelt and Parksville and Qualicum Beach.
Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction Shane Simpsons explains the reasoning behind this project.
Simpsons says once they have a better idea of what and who they’re dealing with, it’ll help the government with the development of a strategy to tackle homelessness in BC.
