Ms. Que Banh*My social justice activist friend, Crystal, was interviewed for this article.*As the City of Victoria conducts what outreach workers say are deadly sweeps of Pandora Avenue, those who facilitate unhoused individuals into addiction rehabilitation centres say there’s not enough spaces to meet the needs of those who are left on the capital city’s streets.“What I’m faced with is, where am I sending them?” said Theresa Reeve, executive director of the relatively new non-profit Westcoast Recovery Outreach.Reeve says private treatment centres only take a select number of government-funded clients, leaving empty beds open for higher paying private clients.“I could fill up their treatment centre if they would allow me,” said Reeve. “But they only let a few government-funded beds. We need to increase those government funded beds. These people deserve a chance just like everybody else.”“People having to wait anywhere from two weeks to three months waiting to get into a detox bed is not acceptable. We need a better system now. We just had an election about. Where are all the beds they promised they were going to build?”The Minister of Health told CHEK News in a statement that her government is adding new services without specifics.<a href="https://cheknews.ca/not-enough-housing-or-rehab-beds-for-victorias-most-broken-says-outreach-worker-1228846/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cheknews.ca/not-enough-housing-or-rehab-beds-for-victorias-most-broken-says-outreach-worker-1228846/</a><a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCpoli</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/YYJpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YYJpoli</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BuildSocialHousing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuildSocialHousing</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BChousing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BChousing</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HousingCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HousingCrisis</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/OutreachWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OutreachWorkers</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/FrontlineWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FrontlineWorkers</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/RehabBedsNeeded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RehabBedsNeeded</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCHealth</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AddictionsTreatment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AddictionsTreatment</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/YYJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YYJ</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VictoriaBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VictoriaBC</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CutTheRedTape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CutTheRedTape</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AccessToTreatment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AccessToTreatment</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HelpTheHomeless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HelpTheHomeless</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HouseTheHomeless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HouseTheHomeless</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCNDP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCNDP</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanRights</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AddictsAreHumans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AddictsAreHumans</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/StopTheStigma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StopTheStigma</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HelpTheMarginalized" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HelpTheMarginalized</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/StopJudgingStartHelping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StopJudgingStartHelping</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VancouverIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VancouverIsland</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VanIsle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VanIsle</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/OurCommunityIncludesHomeless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OurCommunityIncludesHomeless</a>

Ms. Que BanhMost letter writers to our local newspaper, <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TimesColonist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TimesColonist</a> are quite conservative & cruel in how they think about marginalized peoples. You rarely see compassion in TC letters published, that Mr. Chris Holiday has shown. I don't know the person but grateful locals like them exist."Give more respect to those unhoused I have been appalled at the increasing level of stigmatization and hatred directed toward the unhoused population.I live on Pandora Avenue and frequently walk by individuals suffering most severely from our province’s housing crisis. I’ve witnessed individuals in crisis and using threatening language towards passersby but I have also witnessed verbal harassment of unhoused individuals coming from the balconies of luxury apartments.Public safety is a two-way street, everyone deserves the right to safety and dignity. A 2023 study by the Ministry of Housing reports that 67% of unhoused individuals have lived in their community for more than five years and 23% for their entire lives.These are our neighbours, and they deserve respect just as much as us who are housed.Chris HolidayVictoria"<a href="https://www.timescolonist.com/opinion/letters-sept-16-facing-financial-disaster-lightstations-not-lifeboats-respect-for-the-unhoused-9525284" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.timescolonist.com/opinion/letters-sept-16-facing-financial-disaster-lightstations-not-lifeboats-respect-for-the-unhoused-9525284</a><a href="https://beige.party/tags/YYJpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YYJpoli</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VictoriaBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VictoriaBC</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/YYJCitizens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YYJCitizens</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BreakTheStigmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BreakTheStigmas</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HelpTheHomeless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HelpTheHomeless</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HomelessLivesMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomelessLivesMatter</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HelpNotHarm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HelpNotHarm</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PovertyIsNotACrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PovertyIsNotACrime</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HouseTheHomeless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HouseTheHomeless</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HomelessnessIsNotACrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomelessnessIsNotACrime</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCpoli</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SocialHousingNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialHousingNow</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HousingCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HousingCrisis</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/RentalCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RentalCrisis</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCNDP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCNDP</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/YYJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YYJ</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CDNpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDNpoli</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Marginalized" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Marginalized</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VulnerablePopulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VulnerablePopulation</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Stigmatized" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stigmatized</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/StigmaKills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StigmaKills</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SmashStigmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SmashStigmas</a>

Greg JohnsonSamuel Brown Wylie, was a Reformed Presbyterian, and Covenanter. He condemns slavery without even quoting scripture: it makes no sense. What of those modern theologians who feel a need to take the hard edges off of our opposition to slavery? Is this impolitic?

KiwiHello anybody who lives in the Seattle area! I work for a lovely nonprofit day center for women who are experiencing homelessness in the University District in Seattle. We are constantly in need of many items, but at the moment our biggest concern is, oddly enough, plastic bags! (Like grocery bags). If anybody has an overstock of shopping bags, old clothes, pantry food, etc and you’re looking for something to do with it, feel free to send me a DM for details. Thank you!<a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seattle</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/nonprofit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonprofit</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/helpthehomeless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#helpthehomeless</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/donate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#donate</a>

Never take a photo of those on the streets without engaging and asking, they are vulnerable and the street provides no safeguards. They all have a story to tell, let's make time to stop and listen.
