Vulnerable Individuals and Families Near Houston to Gain Better Proactive Access to Social Services

Vulnerable individuals and families in the Houston area will soon have better access to social services.

Thanks to $45,000 in provincial grant funding, a situation table made up of representatives in health, public safety, and social services is coming to Houston.

Members will work to proactively identify vulnerable individuals or families who have a heightened risk of committing crimes, or experiencing harm or victimization.

From there, they will look to rapidly connect them to the appropriate services before they experience a negative or traumatic event.

There are currently 15 situation tables operating in BC, with plans to add 9 more in the works.
