報道要點

聯邦預算提出未來四年投入112億加元,目標在十年內結束無家可歸。溫哥華市長Pete Fry與維多利亞市長Marianne Alto表示目標可爭取實現,但前提是聯邦、省府及市府協作,並同時提供住房、庇護與持續照護資源。

背景與影響

Fry稱將扭轉前屆市議會凍結新增支援性住房的政策。2025年點算估計大溫無家可歸者超過5,200人,其中溫哥華市超過2,700人。Alto希望把維多利亞從街頭、庇護、支援性住房逐步過渡至獨立居住的計劃納入資金安排,並稱仍需數百套支援及低於市場租金單位。

仍待確認

United Gospel Mission負責人認爲,建成房屋之後還要有省府長期運營及服務經費,擔憂資金不足或期限過短。報道時卑詩新政府尚未就聯邦承諾說明配套,因此這是政策目標與地方回應,不能當成已達到目標或個人已經取得住房資格。
