An unlikely friendship between two Victoria residents is prompting a woman to lend her backyard space to a homeless man during the day so that he can find suitable housing.
After knowing each other for less than a week, Baok opened up to Smithers and confessed that he was unhoused.Currently residing at the park, Baok’s been experiencing homelessness since June and says previous life challenges, including a bad relationship, steered him down this path in life. Travelling from multiple campsites throughout the summer, Baok soon discovered that finding housing in Victoria’s rental market is nearly impossible, especially with a pet.
