The City of Lethbridge has provided its monthly update on its Encampment Strategy.
The plan included the hiring of three people, including two full-time encampment response positions and one full-time housing specialist, who was put in place at the end of June.
The City of Lethbridge added a new online report form to its website for the public to report a public safety issue, such as encampments. The form has seen 56 reports sent in since its launch on June 19.
Another addition in the past month is the Street Medicine program. This outreach-focused pilot project is funded through the City of Lethbridge and operated by the Blood Tribe Department of Health.
The program is aimed at providing health care services to the homeless population, tailored towards medical services such as check-ups, simple disease management, and health referrals, among others.
