United Way Perth-Huron Executive Director Ryan Erb says it doesn’t make fiscal sense to offer long-term emergency housing for those experiencing homelessness.
He says there’s always going to be a need for immediate and emergency shelter and upgrades need to occur there but subsidized housing is the way to keep more people off the streets.
United Way Perth-Huron recently eclipsed 80% of their fundraising goal for this year’s campaign, which aims to raise $1.633 million, which Erb says that’s an exciting target to hit.
