Ian Samolczyk, a staff person at UA, a former university student dormitory now housing formerly homeless people, rides up a ramp after his shift. Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. 30 November 2021. UA is an interim project operated by the Working Centre of Kitchener, a community based nonprofit venture, in partnership with the Region of Waterloo, a government body. Both organisations are responding to the rapid increase in homelessness in the region. UA can house up to eighty individuals and has six to eight people on staff for each of the three daily shifts. Most but not all of the residents have drug addictions and mental health concerns. Some individuals have moved to other supported housing while many of the current residents have been living at UA for a year. Ian has given permission for this photo to be used. He is usually the front lobby person and is known by all the residents and staff. There is simply no project without his generous support and understanding.
