Home Inspection: A Realtor's Perspective

In episode 116, Parker Bennett (PB Realestater) seizes a rare opportunity to engage in a candid conversation with Mayor Hammer-Jackson of Kamloops, BC. Together, they confront the looming issue of homelessness, shining a light on a topic often overlooked.

In just over a decade, the number of homeless individuals in Kamloops has undergone a dramatic transformation.
- In 2009, the city counted 103 individuals without stable housing. 
-By 2018, this number had more than doubled to 201. 
-Fast forward to 2023, and the count has surged to a staggering 312, marking a 52% increase in just two years.

These numbers are not just statistics; they represent individuals, each with their own story and struggle. In the broader context of British Columbia, Kamloops is not alone. The province is grappling with a homelessness crisis, with an estimated 26,000 individuals lacking stable housing.

Mayor Hammer-Jackson of Kamloops is deeply concerned about this trend. He believes that addressing mental health issues and substance abuse is key to preventing homelessness. By improving support systems and access to treatment, Mayor Hammer-Jackson hopes to provide a path for those struggling to rebuild their lives and stay off the streets.

Finally we end on a note of how the community can help be a part of the solution to the city's growing homelessness issue.
