Supportive Housing Targets and Treatment

Whereas the affordable housing and addiction crises have created an untenable situation with street disorder in BC communities; And whereas the provincial government has assigned supportive housing targets across BC without the inclusion of the proportionate number of detox and treatment facilities: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM ask the Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs to urgently pursue the delivery of supportive rental units within the housing target guidelines given to municipalities; And be it further resolved that that the Minister of Health ensure that these units are met with the proportionate number of detox beds, appropriate treatment facilities, andor virtual addiction care required for each community.
