In early April, large homeless encampments could be found throughout Vancouver. Roughly 40 campers clustered near the Share House in west Vancouver, and about 25 people lived at an encampment north of Southeast Mill Plain Boulevard, where Northeast Chkalov Drive turns into 112th Avenue.
Those were just two of many encampments throughout the city, most of which housed about 15 to 30 people, according to Jamie Spinelli, the city of Vancouver’s homeless response coordinator.
