a r r i m i o n for msroodwe9s a community building a community of the poor in the downtown eastside a vision composed of housing and social services for economically poor and low-income people the woodward's project is so vast and vital a vision is required before discussion of plans there must be commitment to a vision not finances and technical viability first but vision there is money and ability to implement but a vision is lacking
and a vision is needed since there are now and will be increasing numbers of economically poor vulnerable unemployed troubled "marginal" human beings the current economic agendas (the united church calls it "a war on the poor") mean reduction of funding fiom all levels government cutbacks of welfare social services uncertain employment consequently IF the downtown eastside is to be sustained and strengthened
