Re: Riverview pilot will shut down, The Tri-City News, Jan. 25, 2012.
How incredibly short sighted and wasteful can the provincial government be? A successful project, servicing homeless people is to be shut down, yet every day we hear about the critical need for more housing and services for people with mental challenges, addictions, etc. Without a stable base in which to begin a recovery, nothing can change for these folks.
Why not at least keep the project in operation until other specialized services are in place, not just expected? Otherwise these people have to deal with another move and another adjustment.
