Siloam Mission CEO Jim Bell has resigned, and the downtown not-for-profit that cares for our city’s homeless population, has installed a new board chairman, in the wake of a simmering controversy over Indigenous programming.
It started last November, after nearly a dozen current and former employees of Siloam wrote a letter to the board of directors, accusing Bell of creating "a hostile and divisive working environment" while maintaining a "reluctance, refusal, and often outright denial" of "culturally appropriate programming."
