Ending Chronic Homelessness

[Acitta]

If the Provincial Government would raise welfare rates so that it covers the actual cost of renting an apartment, I am sure that a significant percentage of the homeless population would move into stable housing. Including, I think, many of those with substance abuse problems. After all, nobody complains about all the cocaine-snorting stockbrokers or alcoholic suburban housewives who aren't congregating on downtown streets.
