When Delia Bighetty, 44, was forced to pack up and move out of the Windsor Hotel, where she'd lived for more than four years, a team of advocates from the North End Community Renewal Corporation sprang into action and helped her find a new place to live.
"It happened suddenly and then boom there they were," she said.
Bighetty, who is now in a rooming house in North Point Douglas, was among at least 20 long-term residents who had just two weeks to find housing after the deteriorating 120-year-old downtown Winnipeg hotel was shuttered last month under a provincial health hazard order.
Advocates with the renewal corporation's tenant-landlord co-operation program, which has three staff members and aims to help renters better understand their rights, scrambled to support people who were displaced.
While they were able to help people like Bighetty, they say the situation highlights just how few affordable, low-barrier housing options are available to people in the community who need support.
"You're dealing with a vulnerable population that is already continually being traumatized, and now we're just scattering them into the streets," said Mandolyn Jonasson, an advocate with the tenant-landlord program.
