VICTORIA A group of about a dozen residents gathered Tuesday to show their support for a supportive housing facility under construction in Central Saanich. The BC Housing initiative will create 39 permanent homes for people experiencing homelessness in Greater Victoria, plus 51 affordable rental units. The Prosser Road facility will also provide support for people living with addictions and mental health issues. “There are people who are suffering from mental health and addiction who need a place to stabilize,” said Central Saanich resident and rally organizer Jim Rondeau. “They need a place to live long term near their friends and families and this might be a great place for them to be.”

Nat Geo and the
New York Times can’t tell you. It’s the journalism that covers what’s planned for your street, and what’s happening in your schools. Local journalism impacts your daily life.
Yet, community-based journalism is facing existential challenges.
Here’s What’s Happened
Even before the pandemic, revenues supporting local coverage had been declining for years, and the lockdown cut any remaining advertising revenue by 42% at local newspapers across the country. In the last 15 years, about 1,800 newspapers in the U.S. closed, and there are now almost 25% fewer reporters available to tell you what’s happening. Here in Corvallis, one daily cut its staff in half, then dismissed their longtime editor.
