Darren Blakeborough, an assistant professor in Social, Cultural, and Media Studies, wrote a series of articles on homelessness-related issues for the Chilliwack Times recently. Blakeborough is the author and primary researcher of\u00a0 a Chilliwack Social Research and Planning Council commissioned report on homelessness and low-barrier housing. The report was presented to city council. It recommends a housing-first approach to the issue. The Chilliwack Healthier Community group, comprised of approximately 40 different stakeholders in the city with relations to a myriad of social and community issues, is also involved in promoting housing first. The aim of the series of articles was part educational and part hoping to start a public discourse on the topic.<\/p>\n
