GREGOR'S NEW SHELTER SHORT on BLANKETS

In an unusual call out by David Eby, prominent member of Mayor Robertson's HEAT group which has opened three new shelters, apparently there is a shortage of blankets for the homeless.

Needed explaining is why a shelter with a budget of $500,000.00 for three months can't provide an adequate number of blankets for the homeless using this shelter?

Readers need to be reminded that the HEAT budget allocation works out to $100.00 per day per homeless individual which works out to $2,800.00 per month per individual and yet the shelter hasn't an adequate supply of blankets for the homeless camped out on floor space provided by Gregor's Shelters.
