Local MLAs and Mayor Henry Braun will be on hand for an announcement in Abbotsford Thursday morning regarding homelessness.  The announcement concerns housing for the homeless and those at risk.  We’re not sure at this point if it will be the previously talked about “Village for the Homeless” which was proposed by the Abbotsford Dignitarian Society in 2013.  Earlier this year, the federal government committed $400,000 to fighting homelessness in Abbotsford.  We’ll keep you posted on the details of this announcement.
