Interior Health and Terry Martin collaborate on housing and regional treatment centers
What happened
Terry Martin, a city councillor, is collaborating with Interior Health on housing initiatives and seeking regional treatment centers for Castlegar, Trail, and Nelson. In Trail, Martin noted that a previous supportive housing project was shelved when provincial funding was stopped, prompting collaboration with Interior Health and BC Housing to move forward with the project.
Why it matters
The push for supportive housing and regional treatment centers impacts the operational scope and funding of Interior Health. Furthermore, the initiative drives policy discussions regarding municipal housing and social services in Trail.
