Victoria to build 5,200-square-foot property to support homeless population

The City of Victoria is providing $1.8-million in operating funding for a new facility opening in the coming months aimed at addressing the risks and impacts of homelessness.

The new “access hub” will be owned and operated by SOLID, a local non-profit organization that already provides overdose prevention services at seven sites in Victoria, outreach to homeless encampments, and other related services. Mayor Marianne Alto says in the statement that giving people a pathway away from addiction and homelessness cannot wait.
