Councillor Lucier may move, or cause to have moved:
 

WHEREAS there has been an increase of visible homelessness in Kingsville;


AND WHEREAS there has likely been an increase in "hidden" homelessness including couch surfing, sleeping in vehicles, and people staying in unsafe living conditions;


AND WHEREAS the pandemic has revealed pre-existing problems and worsened others such as rising rent, addictions, lack of diverse housing, heightened mental health demands, and transportation barriers in rural areas like Kingsville;
