Jill Davidson, the city's homeless policy co-ordinator,
says support for the initiative is widespread throughout
the community – providing a consensus to move forward.
"We've had Tourism Vancouver, the business community,
the Board of Trade come to us and say they are in support
of this plan," she says.

There's no official estimate of how much the Homeless
Action Plan will cost the city. But each new suite carries
a price tag of $130,000.
