SooToday received the following Letter to the Editor from reader Julie Hryniewicz in response to this article: Mayor continues fight for safe consumption funding even as Sudbury site closes.
Between January 2022 and November 2023, our organization ran a private drop-in space for individuals experiencing homelessness, urgent housing issues, and active substance use. This facility was opened during the pandemic, 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, running purely with volunteers, students, community sponsors, and caring individuals.
If you research the Sault Police Service year-end crime statistics, after the Neighbourhood Resource Centre closed in 2020, to the end of 2021, crime rates went up. If you then look at the crime statistics by the end of 2022, crime rates went down. There is no doubt, that with the numerous support services running in the downtown core of Sault Ste. Marie in 2022, this made all the difference.
