Alpha House Society in Calgary looking for answers after outreach vehicles tires slashed – Calgary | 24CA News
Alpha House Society in Calgary is in search of solutions after the tires of their outreach autos had been slashed on Friday.
Shandra Bruvall, communications supervisor for Alpha House Society, instructed Global News 13 of their autos had their tires slashed on Friday.
“We have been able to supplement our outreach programs with some of the other vehicles that we do have from our housing programs, for example, so that we won’t have any delay in operations,” Bruvall stated.
But the sudden price to repair the autos means Alpha House Society should pull funding from different locations, Bruvall stated.
She added the police didn’t disclose loads of details about the motives behind slashing the tires.
“We’re not sure exactly what the amounts are going to be, but we’re going to have to pull from funding that would otherwise go towards our services,” she stated.
Bruvall stated it’s crucial for the non-profit to repair the autos as quickly as attainable.
“We are mobile programs designed to connect with individuals who are on the streets and connect them to social service agencies, connect them to resources or supplies and get them to a safe place. Not having those vehicles we’re having that those operations impacted impacts our ability to connect with individuals on the streets,” she stated.
