Homelessness and Poverty : How the Poor Survive. April 2018 [videorecording] / Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

Summary:

It’s not something we like to think about but we see it every day no matter where we live: people living on the streets. Now some cities are turning to social and supportive housing developments to deal with the homeless problem. One recently opened in Vancouver but it’s not going over well in the community. Meanwhile, there’s another level of poverty in Canada – the working poor. These people have jobs that pay minimum wage yet they’re barely getting by.
