Report reveals more seniors at risk of homelessness
Description
November 22, 2023
On this National Day of Housing, an alarming report released today is revealing that more B.C. seniors are facing the potential for homelessness than ever before. The report was commissioned by the United Way of B.C. and calls for immediate action to help seniors find and retain homes. As Klaudia Van Emmerik reports, the situation is especially dire here in the Okanagan where the cost of housing is through the roof.
