We have a number of people who have been on our streets and in our shelter over time who have different levels of physical disabilities.
We had a woman who was a leader in our homeless camp. Her name is Linda, and she's a pretty phenomenal person. She has struggled her whole life. She had a broken arm that was untreated, basically hanging, for years. We have that kind of condition going on in our streets.
I was told by one of our staff members that we have another individual who is hunched over and sleeping in a chair at night at our shelter.
There are very significant physical disabilities that people meet with, especially when they've been on the streets for a long period of time. They have very significant health care needs.
When we deal with people with disabilities who are housed, we need to do everything we can to support them as well, so that they are able to access services. As a city, we have an accessibility committee. We work every day to make sure that people who are disabled in our community can access services equally with everybody else.
