Definition of Homelessness

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Summer is here, and with it an increase in the number of homeless people in our communities.

In the wake of the pandemic, many Canadians have come to the realization that issues like this are community problems and we all need to seek solutions. In this morning’s interview, we talk about the definition of homelessness.
