Pacifica Housing CEO Carolina Ibarra joined People First Radio to talk a number of issues related to supportive housing, including new announcements in Nanaimo, The Nanaimo Acute Response Table, difficulties with data around supportive housing, and units in need of maintenance.

“The way that we view and deal with supportive housing has to change because we’re not talking about units, we’re talking about people’s lives,” she said.

“When we want to stabilize people and we want to keep them up off of the streets and healthy and well, we need to take all of that into consideration when making decisions about supportive housing. It’s not as easy as just stopping a program or decommissioning a building.”
