We were forced to shut down our warming centres, as we did not know if the program was being renewed. However, on April 1, it was still very cold. The fact that the funding date had just passed didn't make it any less cold.
We also know that, because Reaching Home had been overhauled and we didn't know whether there were other funds to cover non-encampment initiatives, some organizations lost their outreach workers, who are the link between the population and other organizations.
We are currently taking steps to find out.
