In Case You Missed It…. A Small Team Making Big Impacts in the Community When temperatures began climbing during summer months, Rodger Travale, Housing & Health Nurse and Chris Wetmore, Coordinated Access Manager from the Prince George office knew folks with limited resources needed health and wellness support. To help, they distributed 2,000 bottles of water to individuals with mental health or mobility issues living in Directly Managed housing, as well as unhoused individuals who lived in homeless camps with limited or no access to water. They also worked with a local non-profit partner that visited the homeless camps and helped to complete housing applications, while performing health checks with those who were unhoused. From those health checks, eight people were sent to a walk-in clinic or hospital for various medical reasons. Thank you to Rodger, Chris and the rest of the Prince George team for showing us that even a small team can have a big impact and make a difference among our most vulnerable. In Case You Missed It…. Over 2,000 Cooling Kits Assembled for Directly Managed Tenants
In August, a group of employees from our Housing and Health Services team spent a day at Central Supply at səmiq̓ʷəʔelə to assemble close to 2,100 cooling kits for our Directly Managed tenants. The kits were distributed across the Lower Mainland to help keep our tenants cool during what proved to be a warm summer. Cooling kits included a thermometer, plastic tote box, cooling towel, gel compress, water bottle and spray bottle. Thank you to our Housing and Health Services team for braving the heat and coming together to get this important job done for the health and well- being of our Directly Managed tenants.
