Listen "S2E11 - Inside the Rainier Hotel"
Episode Synopsis
We hear a lot about single room occupancy (SRO) hotels in the news - most of it pretty grim. In today's episode, Sara visits the Rainier Hotel, a low-barrier SRO located in Vancouver’s Gastown. It’s home to self-identifying women, many of whom have experienced trauma and violence. In this episode, Sara tours the Rainier with Tanya Fader, Director of Housing for the PHS Community Services Society, and talks with Karen, one of the residents.
Guests include:
Tanya Fader, Director of Housing, PHS Community Services Society
Karen, Resident, the Rainier Hotel
