Three-Storey Building and Housing

bc: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, Immigrant Settlement Services of BC , Emergency Management BC, Emergency Social Services in the Tri-Cities, the Red Cross, Concert Properties, BC Housing, and the Fraser Health Authority have all been involved in the effort so far, according to CTV. The families lost their homes on Cottonwood Avenue in a fire Thursday morning. According to the provincial government, 10 families of Syrian refugees have already been provided with temporary housing, clothing, prescriptions, and other essentials, and are expected to be placed in permanent housing in the coming weeks. The three-storey building, which does not have sprinklers, was undergoing repairs and the water was turned off. The building landlord offered the apartments for the Syrian refugees below market rent for the short term, because there are so few available rentals in the area. The tar roof trapped the flames and heat, making it a challenge for crews to put out the blaze. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
