A local project proposed to house all of Vancouver’s homeless – sounds amazing, almost too good to be true. Maybe it is. I haven’t looked into it in the depth I normally do, so I don’t know if the guy behind it is legit or not. I am not recommending the GoFundMe project by posting this blog, I am recommending that you look into it. And I am posting this blog because the idea behind it is a darn good one. I really hope this is legit, and I very much hope for all those who need affordable housing anywhere that you get a hand up, not a hand out.
While I am not a fan of shrinking living space, this 2br/2ba free standing home would be a huge improvement over my current cramped 1br/1ba I share with my husband. The kitchen is about the same size but the model has its own washing machine and dryer, while I currently have to do my laundry in shared unit in the basement of the apartment building. While some apartments have their own w/d, our unit does not. The apartment I live in is not ideal, but there was a 2 year waiting list for most apartments in the area and only 2 of the dozens we called bothered to called up back when we were looking.
