LONDON, ONT. -- It’s been a trying 14 months for everyone, but for those struggling with homelessness the pressure has been far more challenging to deal with. “The last year has probably been the most difficult time,” says Chuck Lazenby, with Unity Project on Dundas Street. Because of the tight quarters at the shelter, it was shut down during the pandemic and they were forced to secure other accommodations. “Our building just wouldn't work for us anymore so we took over 50 rooms of a hotel where we could accommodate people with pre-existing health conditions and seniors who are experiencing homelessness to help keep them protected from the most extreme effects of COVID,” explains Lazenby.
