“We do not bring people to the community”: ASK Wellness survey shows Kamloops’ homelessness plight is homegrown
KAMLOOPS — A recent survey of the Kamloops street-affected population found that the vast majority of respondents have been in Kamloops for more than two years.
ASK Wellness formulated and distributed the survey to homeless individuals, as well as those within the supportive, transitional and temporary housing arrangements operated by both ASK and the Canadian Mental Health Association.
It was meant as a way of determining where those within the street-affected population are coming from.
