Summary:
"The
National
explores the complicated and difficult issue of
homelessness
in Victoria, BC. In recent years, the postcard image of this quaint seaside capital has been tarnished by increasing
homelessness
. Victoria's solution? To turn to Portland, Oregon for inspiration. Also a small city, Portland has set an ambitious target to end
homelessness
by 2015. Their mantra is "
housing
first
." No matter how people wind up on the streets - drug addiction, mental illness, crime or bad luck - they get a home
first
. Then a city-wide web of support workers help them find solutions for any other issues. With 1500 chronically homeless placed in permanent
housing
in three years, clearly Portland is doing something right. Now, the city of Victoria, BC is trying to learn and apply Portland's comprehensive and collaborative
approach
