Housing options are not working for the marginalized because they are set up for failure.

Over the years I have helped many people move to their new homes. Never have I helped move someone to an encampment…until recently.

In 2021, Miranda and Rory lived in a trailer at Moccasin Flats. Through B.C. Housing, they moved into what was supposed to be a two-bedroom unit in an apartment building on Spruce Street. The second bedroom was locked the day they moved in and remained so for a year and a half when they were forced to move out. Miranda’s trailer at Moccasin Flats was removed as part of the city’s demolition efforts in November of 2021. Now they’re living in a tent.
