Dave Witty is calling on Nanaimo to recognize homelessness as an existential crisis.
Witty brought a motion before city council this month that included a call for Nanaimo to adopt “housing first plus” as the foundational element of a homelessness strategy.
He sits on the Mayor’s leaders table, and has been exploring the response to homelessness in Switzerland.
