The following letter is in response 'THE BIG READ: How the pandemic exposed Northern Ontario's hidden homeless crisis,' published March 11.
Wow. This is one of the most insightful and clearly laid-out articles about the mental health/homeless crisis I have ever read, and there have been many over the past few years and even before.
I learned about how the focus is on homelessness, but that dealing with this issue cannot be separated from addressing mental health and addiction situations.
It is in-depth and yet is easy to read and gave me a better idea of how to talk about what is going on and possibly to support a solution — which I assume is the goal of every journalist.
Way to go, Jenny.
