This shelter is absolutely essential to our community. We have very few shelter beds in Nanaimo, certainly not enough for what we need. The shelter provides a place for folks to find warmth, food, comfort, and community, which is really needed for those living unhoused in our community.
Big changes are coming to Nanaimo's Unitarian Shelter as it prepares for new management. This episode of People First Radio dives into the transition, with Deborah Hollins, the Executive Director of Nanaimo Family Life Association, sharing her perspective on what this means for the community. Hollins discusses the challenges and opportunities that come with managing such a vital resource and highlights the shelter's role in providing year-round support to those in need.
Whether you're interested in community services, homelessness, or just want to understand how local organizations adapt and thrive, this episode offers a thoughtful look at an important topic.
