What did Togman think would happen by implementing "community facilitators" to work with homeless people, but doing nothing to improve safety for regular citizens? I stopped using the library years ago due to feeling unsafe and harassment from people while entering. I filled out their survey, but nothing changed. Welcoming people who don't want to follow societal rules which threaten the safety of others is a ridiculous idea. I truly hope the staff member will be okay. Being assaulted by anyone is never okay.
We have homeless people living in tents a kilometre away, and they want to waste over $57 million on an art gallery we don't need and that a majority of the city doesn't want.
They only offer room and board when you are doing courses. Finding housing near the unit you are sent to is your responsibility. A few places offer CAF members housing, but not enough. Many NCO-level CAF members are sleeping in their cars or couch surfing.
