8 in 10 British Columbians agree that supported housing for people with mental illness or addictions should be an urgent priority for the provincial government.

Nearly 12,000 people with mental illness and addictions in BC are absolutely homeless and another 19,000 are at imminent risk of homelessness.

Providing street adults suffering from severe addictions or mental illness with adequate housing and supports could save the province $211 million a year.
