Prince George’s first true stretch of winter is expected to provide some challenges to our homeless population as well as those accessing food banks.
PG Native Friendship Centre Executive Director, Barb Ward-Burkitt told
MyPGNow.com while our homeless population is scrambling to seek shelter, finding a place to stay is only half the battle.
“It’s not just about providing a bed and a meal. We want to work with individuals to get them to the point where they can perhaps get into independent housing, get connected to housing and health supports.”
