Community Groups: Community Effort and Townhouse Units

community groups: It's a really rough situation for many of these larger families trying to find a housing unit that would be able to accommodate a family of seven, said Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, according to CBC. We're having volunteers step up. A group called Tri-Cities Friends of Refugees has already repaired four units for families that were having a hard time finding affordable rental apartments. Suppliers, community groups they're coming out of the woodwork to help. It really was a community effort to try to figure out how we try to repair these buildings and make them new again, said Stewart. According to one of the group's posts on Facebook, two of the homes were empty townhouse units operated by a non-profit society that couldn't afford to fix the extensive damage.
