The Kenora District Services Board is out with a 10-year homelessness and housing plan.The issue sparked considerable debate yesterday at the KDSB table, with Sioux Lookout Mayor Dennis
Leney suggesting that a majority of the homeless in his community have homes in northern communities.
Manager of Integrated Social Services Diane
Apland says the homeless problem is a major issue across the district.
One recommendation to curb the problem is the creation of a Managed Alcohol program.
Leney says that's not the way to go and suggests the province must step up and notes there are 21 beds at the Kenora District Jail that aren't being used.
