ASK Wellness calls for new model of complex care housing
KAMLOOPS — About one-in-eight of Kamloops supportive housing clients were evicted due to unmanageable behaviours.
Kamloops Supportive Housing Clients Outcome Data stated while 79 per cent (221 of 278) of people who are experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness remained housed, 12 per cent (34) couldn’t stay.
Of the 34 exits, the most common factor was a combination of mental health and substance use (16), followed by substance use alone (eight), criminality (six), and mental health alone (four).
