Homes for the Homeless partner calling out inaction in the community
An advocate for Prince Albert’s homeless is pointing fingers at people and groups, who he says “talk-the-talk but don’t walk-the-walk”.
John Fryters, executive director with Jubilation Residential Centres is a partner in Homes for the Homeless, a program that has seen a high success rate with its clients, while constantly struggling to find program funding.
“A lot of people say there is a homelessness problem but they don’t want to do anything about it,” Fryters said.
“We’ve had homelessness demonstrations this year, we had a homeless week, we had a homeless march … I’m pointing fingers and what I’m saying is, hey, start putting your actions where your mouth is.”
