The result is that those in transitional housing have to choose to be homeless
and put themselves in very risky situations in order to get on the public housing list.
The Housing Corporation has a new program to assist with rental payments, which is great, but I was surprised to learn that clients that pay $1,400 per month to live in the YWCA’s rental units are not eligible. It is hardly surprising that people end up leaving the territory.
Again, why is the Housing Corporation setting up barriers to people who are trying to transition to a better life?
