services to the homeless and provide expanding long term employment in the homeless services sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ineffectual, incessant recycling of the homeless makes it clear that the public should<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have been more specific, specifying that any \u2018something\u2019 BC Housing did about the homeless be effective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ongoing failure of BC Housing to change their actions and behaviours when the data clearly shows the homeless are being repeatedly recycled<\/span><b> through the system, <\/b><b><i>not into and out of the system<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, raises the question of whether BC Housing has the capacity to effectively enable the homeless to achieve stability in housing and sobriety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recent actions of BC Housing vis-\u00e0-vis the Centre of Hope in Abbotsford demonstrates an absence of critical thinking [disciplined thinking that is clear, rational, open-minded, and informed by evidence], quality control <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[verifying and maintaining a desired result with corrective action as required to achieve the desired result], coherent goals and planning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">E<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">xpanding the shelter from 25 to 35 beds shows not just a lack of thought or awareness by BC Housing but an indifference toward the welfare of Abbotsford\u2019s homeless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The extra 10 beds will potentially decrease the number of homeless in Abbotsford\u2019s next homeless count by 10 since anyone with a shelter bed is excluded from the count, considerably i<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ncrease the Centre of Hopes homeless recycling capacity, create a new position, increase government funding to the Centre of Hope and<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> enable<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the Centre of Hope to avoid the effort and inconvenience that comes with providing extreme weather shelter and services to Abbotsford\u2019s homeless population<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The extra 10 beds will not be any more effective in dealing with homelessness than the current 25 beds and so will simply serve to increase the number of homeless recycled at the Centre of Hope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a

behaviours have on homelessness does not in any manner change the fact that years of outcomes experienced clearly demonstrate that shelter beds simply recycle the homeless from homelessness through the system and back to homelessness,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The change will have significant consequences for the extreme weather protocols that were put in place to prevent lives being lost during periods of winter weather that threatens the lives of people lacking adequate protection from the weather.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the consequences of no longer having the Centre of Hope as the primary extreme weather service provider is the loss of the additional shelter spaces that were created by putting mats on the floor, loss of the extra meals provided during extreme weather,\u00a0 the loss of the other additional services [warming] offered at the Centre during periods of extreme winter weather and the loss of the location used to coordinate services and help offered by other organizations, churches and volunteers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The profound effect of the change on extreme weather services and the fact that the change took place on September 1, 2019 without prior announcement leaves little time\u00a0 before the winter of 2019\/20 arrives for those caring and concerned about Abbotsford\u2019s homeless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scrambling to prevent any loss of lives to extreme winter weather as a result of BC Housing\u2019s failure to address the effects that the change made will have on service delivery of extreme weather protocols in Abbotsford.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This situation highlights the need for change in how homelessness is addressed and makes it clear that the first step to effectively dealing with homelessness in BC is applying the principles of quality control to BC Housing\u2019s homeless programs by having the BC Auditor General evaluate the goals and effectiveness of those programs to determine taxpayers bang for their
