City of Kamloops to have outreach workers join Community Service Officers on foot patrol
KAMLOOPS — The City will hire outreach workers from social agencies like ASK Wellness to accompany Community Services Officers on foot patrols.
Outreach workers help connect unsheltered homeless people with shelters and services.
“It’s incredibly difficult to get those people connected to services, because obviously with no fixed address it’s difficult to coordinate much of anything,” said Jeremy Cain, outreach director at ASK Wellness.
