A group of residents claiming to represent former residents from Victoria's tent city is calling for improvements to their transitional housing space. In an open letter, the Super Intent City Society listed concerns about services, access, surveillance and safety at the Johnson Street facility run by the Portland Hotel Society. Some former tent city residents have complained about a lack of services and ill-treatment in their new housing facilities. As for Swait, who has been homeless for a few years and lived in the tent city, the big issue remains a lack of affordable housing in the city. "If we have to, we'll get another tent city going."
