Police and city bylaw workers have started working under the same roof as social workers and mental health support workers in downtown Prince George, B.C.
The Community Safety Hub is a two-floor office building at 2nd Avenue and George Street, in an area of town where people dealing with homelessness and addiction tend to congregate in order to access support services.
The city hopes it will give front-line workers a place to collaborate and come up with better ways of working on shared issues connected to homelessness, addiction, mental health and poverty.
