Theresa McManus for New West Record writes, “New Westminster is getting some assistance from senior governments in its efforts to help local service organizations better support vulnerable people. The province’s ministry of municipal affairs has announced that dozens of B.C. communities are receiving funding to provide increased local services in response to homelessness.
MOSAIC has received $50,000 in government funding to establish a hot meal program that connects newcomers, who are experiencing social isolation and are in need of training and work experience, with those who are experiencing homelessness in New Westminster.”
