Housing first is a fairly well known solution that is proven to work. Unfortunately, the commodification of housing has, of course, rewarded the wealthy and made it nearly impossible for those with little means to have safe, consistent shelter.

I am once again ashamed at living in BC and being in proximity to Global News. What a terribly written article and piece of "journalism." There's not a single argument or connection on how or why the "research" was relevant to the decriminalization program OR the end of said program. Tons of claims everywhere but not a single bit of evidence or info for us to possibly connect them.
