Houselessness in Strathcona County may not always be visible, but it’s happening right here in our community. In this episode Doneka sits down with Tom, Director of RCMP and Enforcement Services and Kesa, Director of Family and Community Services. Together they discuss the complexity of houselessness, how their departments collaborate on response efforts (including a newly approved pilot project), and what residents can do to support themselves and others.
