A family struggling with homelessness in Peterborough, Ontario has faced another setback as they have been ordered to leave the campground where they have been staying. Shanna Miller, her husband, and three children have been living at Beavermead Campground since May 10, paying for their campsite as they searched for affordable housing. Miller explained that due to severe medical conditions and previously unsafe living conditions, the family had no other choice but to pitch their tents at the campground.
Despite their efforts to secure stable housing, Miller expressed her frustration at the lack of available options in the city. She mentioned that it has been a year-long struggle to find a suitable place for her family to live, and the campground was their only temporary solution.
