Seventy-seven-year-old Keith Light is back at home in a recreational vehicle outside a Walmart in East Vancouver, having recently been discharged from hospital after an accident.
He’s glad to be out of the “crazy” emergency room at Vancouver General Hospital where he spent a night earlier this month.
But what he really dreams of is a call from BC Housing.
Light spent New Year’s Eve trying to get the engine of the RV running to stay warm while trying to imagine better times ahead.
