Vancoulver could have 4700 houseless people by 2030
without government immediate action VANCOUVER--COAST SALISII TF,RRITORIES--Vaiicou\.er col.lid see the number of house1ess resideiits escalate from about 310() t\`dzi\ to arouiid 47()0 by 2030 unless governments take importaiit steps to stop the loss of housing triat rents at social assistance shelter aiid pension rate. and bi.iild more housing that rents at that rate. The informatioii comes in a new report l`rom the Cai.negie Housing Project (CHP): rAJ.5 /.fl. '/ W()rking: 2024 call for goverl.mel.I action to end llouselessiiess. "Wc are on track to lose hundl.eds ol. SROs to rent increases because the city lost the vacancy
control court case." explained Devin O'Leary of the CHP. "We could also lose up to 860 of sup-
porti\/e modular housiiig beeausc the cit} is refusing to find sites for them when their leases expire," added O'Lear}J. "V+'lii]c new shelter rate housing is being built. there's not enough ()I`it to
make up for the ]osses."
r#J.,I. i.s# 'J Worfr..i.g includes 42 recolnniendations for all levels of governmeiit, including these 7
priority recommendations:
To stop the loss of affordable housing: 1. The province should implement SRO vacancy control to hold onto privatel}' o`+'ned SR0s and I)revent rent increases for low income people while new housing is being built. 2. Extend leases or find new Vancouver sites for all modular housing. To build new housing low income people can affoI.d: 3. Start with nnd speed up renovating or rebuilding these 3 publicly owned sites for 100% ADDITIONAL shelter rate social housing: the Regent, Balm(tral, and derelict site at Hastings and Gore. 4. The federal and provincial go`'ernmcnts should align their definition of social housing with the DTES definition that requires one third of the units in social housing building to bc at shelter/I)ension rate or for I(iw income people. Along witli changing the definition, thc` federal and I)rovincifll go`'ernments should increase funding ttt social liousing projei`ts to enable non profit I)ro`'i-ders to operate tliem u ith people who can t)nly pay the shclt.`r/
pension rate for rent. 5. Pressure the federal g(ivernment to come through with large amounts of funding to build housing that low income people can afford. 6. Create a fund for th. I)TES Community Land Trust to buy and renovate and/{tr rede-
v.`lop shcltcr rate housing alid o|)Crate with their tenant-led organizing model. 7. Build enough shelters so there is a space for everyone who is houseless (about 1000 more spaces than \ve have now) and build at least one tiny house `'il]age as people who are houseless wait for housing to be built. This way people who are ciimping outdoors can be referred to a legal place with sanitary facilities. These should bc in place b}r next winter at the absolute latest. As Kevin Collrod, a DTES resident who has been liviiig in a slie[ler fiir 5 years said. "If`the federal go`Jernment says housing is a liuman rigli[, [liey need to hui.ry' up and builct it."

Subject: Urgent Action Needed: Addressing the Overdose Crisis in Vancouver Dear Minister Whiteside, My name ls Loreigh Mitges, and I am a dedicated advocate fctr the unhoused community ln Vancouver. The purpose of this message is to follow up on your letter addressed to Ms. Lisa Lapointe, Chief Coroner, along with the BC Coroners Service Death Review Panel's report titled ''An Urgent Response to a Continuing Crisis," dated November 1, 2023. This report adeptly highlights the distressingly high number of unnecessary and preventable overdose deaths, outlining both the social crisis at hand and potentlal solutions. Undoubtedly, the complexity of this crisis warrants acknowledgment; hc)wever, I
respectfully assert that complexity should not serve as an acceptable excuse for inaction .
The report rightly recommends the provision of safe drugs, Including Heroin, Cocaine,
and Methamphetamine, to enable users to access substances free from the lethal risks associated with street drugs This approach aligns with my own beliefs and underscores the urgency of addressing this public health emergency. It is Imperative to note that this crisis was c)fficially declared as a substance-related harm emergency cm April 14, 2016, marking eight years of ongoing devastation. Currently, we are wltnessing the loss of seven lives per day due to overdose deaths. How many more lives must be tragically lost before decisive action is taken to mitigate this crisis?
To safeguard lives and prevent further loss, it is essential to modernize our laws by legalizing the manufacture and sale of safe drugs. This legalization must be accompanied by rc)bust regulatory frameworks to ensure effective monitctring and enforcement. I advocate fcir the expeditious drafting and presentation of legislation to the legislature to enact
these necessary changes. Lives are at stake, and we cannot afford further delays. Yours sincerely,
Loreigh Mitges

A lack of affordable housing` coupled with lo\\J \Jacalicy r<ites has resulted in llccd i'. incrcascd competition for scarce aff`ordable housing and those \\;ith the least income oi. who may fiiid it more difficult to fiiid appropi.iate housing, fall out of Carlle ie I 7ousiii tlie bottom of the housilig coiitiiiuiim iiito homelessness."
