Lack of affordable housing reaches crisis levels in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — It has become a serious crisis – the lack of affordable housing in Kamloops has reached a level not seen before.
The number of homeless and working poor has increased, and over the last several months shelters and non-profit organizations have seen more and more people turning for help.
Agencies like Ask Wellness say rental rates are simply too expensive and there hasn’t been any construction of affordable units in our community in quite some time and that is leaving people living on a low-income with nowhere to go.
