Episode description

There are two dozen people going through the court system right now because they showed up to support the homeless in Halifax. Doctor Jeff Karabanow of Dalhousie's School of Social Work has been involved in the field for thirty years. And he says the ongoing pandemic created significant challenges. But it hit the homeless particularly hard. He and four other researchers have just released a report on the challenges of being homeless in a pandemic. They looked to the ways HRM and CBRM responded and they've come up with their observations and recommendations on improving access to affordable housing.
