The Society of Organized Services (SOS) assistance coordinators estimate a minimum of 14 adults and 6 children, experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness, have been impacted by our lack of funding this quarter. The following are all clients that we did not have funding to support this quarter.  Two new tenancies for people fleeing violence, although the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction (MSDPR) will buy them beds, neither of these people have household furniture and items.  An employed person (with low earnings) was able to secure housing but could not pay their security deposit and their earnings exceeded the amount required for MSDPR eligibility.  A single parent with a child secured a tenancy and received assistance from MSDPR for security deposit and rent costs however, she was also required to have tenant insurance before receiving the keys.  A youth who left the foster care system and is in a hotel with a rent subsidy is employed but cannot save enough for a deposit to secure their own tenancy.  A senior living in their vehicle found housing but didn’t have money for damage deposit.  Another senior living in old leaky, moldy, trailer requested help with storage fees.  A senior living in a moldy cabin sought help with moving costs.  An adult experiencing homelessness, who requested assistance with storage unit costs.  A homeless senior who had moved to Vancouver where there was available shelter space because they were unable to find housing in Oceanside was requested to come for an interview to receive an offer of subsidized housing in Oceanside but was unable to attend as there was no available shelter space and they did not have money for a hotel stay to attend the interview.  While we were unable to provide the financial support these people needed to prevent their homelessness while awaiting funding, we continued to build connections in the community with other service providers to build a more complete picture of available resources and provide appropriate referrals for those we were unable to assist.
