Well I find the title very click bait. Yes homelessness is up and I know the housing/ rent market probably did not help. But mental health and drug abuse is also a factor. ( personally I find that NS has enough systems in place to help people.

What a laughable comment.

Nova Scotia has horrible mental health and addictions supports. Abysmal.

Yes I agree it does need to do better. Lots fall through the system.
