S1E5 - Encampments

This week’s episode features a discussion about homelessness, and in particular how to approach and create meaningful housing solutions with support services for people in an encampment. Episode guests include:

• Janice Abbott, CEO, Atira Women’s Resource Society


• Heidi Hartman, Executive Director, Supportive Housing and Homelessness, BC Housing

Janice and Heidi dig into why it’s important to take a person-centred approach to encampments and why developing relationships with people is critical to better understand what the individual needs in order to get them into housing with the right supports.
