The celebrated openings of the Steve O'Neill and Lincoln Park Apartments gave our community hope that we're making headway in the effort to stop homelessness.

In this first part of our series, CHUM Outreach Director Deb Holman talks about the different kinds of people experiencing homelessness in our community. And she says although new housing has opened up for children and families, there is still a real lack of housing for single men and women.
