Lethbridge Housing application deserves public support

Editor:

 We voice our support for Lethbridge Housing in their application to house individuals in the Castle Apartments, that have gone through treatment programs and desire to live in a supportive program to independent living.

Lethbridge Housing residents are not the ones who are causing problems in our neighbourhood. We do not see this program affecting our area at all. Lethbridge Housing is a well managed and well respected organization in our community. 

We believe it is our Christian responsibility to look after those less fortunate than us and to show the love of Christ to a world that is broken by sin. It becomes all about me I and ourselves. It should be, what can we do for others. Don’t tie the homeless situation now to Castle Apartments. Property values are not and will not go down. It’s hyperbole. We also can have credentials behind our names which we will not use to bolster our position. Please don’t grant the appeal against the permit. We need programs like this in the city.
