More B.C. seniors than ever in dire need of financial help, and it's only getting worse

“It has increased from, 'Can we have some grocery vouchers?' to, 'I have nowhere to live, I don’t have enough money to afford what’s available out there,'” said Adam Thompson of the Hope for Freedom Society.

The not-for-profit group provides homeless outreach services for people, including seniors, in Metro Vancouver’s Tri-Cities region.
