Law enforcement must not be part of the problem. So the courts must accommodate the shared objectives, without delay. The police forces must collaborate effectively. They both must serve as models of collaboration for the rest of this initiative.1. Mental health, addiction and chronic disease are better quantified locally, and those results are transparent and published widely. A model to be shared elsewhere emerges. Simpler. More effective. The issues become common knowledge.
5. The Czar is provided a team of 10 additional collaborators, practical and remote office space and communications, and a direct reporting relationship with the premier. Local mayors provide support. As a volunteer at Our Place, as well as Community Food Support and other agencies, I agree with their four-point plan as an approach to mitigating the effects of homelessness. However, as with all of these necessary interventions, it is merely reactionary. It deals with a problem that has already occurred rather than trying to prevent the problem from occurring in the first place.
However, in light of circumstances in Canada today, I find that it is not really a plan. It is wishful thinking. “The plan” calls for a range of housing options to be offered to the unhoused. This is naive when you consider that middle-income taxpayers are struggling to find affordable housing for their families. The lack of housing in Victoria is actually preventing couples from having children. It is a crisis.
