‘I don’t know if shelters are the answer’: Moncton homeowners decry shelter extensions
CTV
Business and homeowners are speaking out against the extension of two homeless shelters in the Moncton area.
Ron Morin moved into his Moncton neighbourhood ten years ago because he was looking for a quiet place to live.
He said it's been anything but quiet since a temporary homeless shelter opened this winter nearby on Mark Avenue.
The retired man said he's had several issues with people from the shelter and he and his neighbours have had their homes broken into.
Morin often sees open drug use in the street, and has had to deal with thefts of his belongings.
While he says he feels sorry for those experiencing homelessness, Morin claims the crime rate has gone up since the shelter opened.
“I have been hit, my backyard neighbour has been hit, my next-door neighbour here has been hit and several people down the street," said Morin.
His neighbour Jodi Dinan feels the same way.
