This week, Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu discusses mental health, addiction and homelessness. Chu points out that no one wants to see people with mental health challenges fall through the cracks and end up on the streets, but it continues to happen. He estimates that there are 300 people with identifiable mental health issues on the Downtown Eastside who need help.
