New figures obtained by CBC News reveal transitional housing projects in Kelowna, B.C., are achieving far lower success rates than Mayor Tom Dyas recently suggested.

In an interview with Kelowna Now on Nov. 20, Dyas said "almost 100 of that first 120 [individuals] have moved on. They've either moved on to supportive housing… they've gone back to family, they're getting better care. Very, very positive results.”

That translates to 83 per cent of people finding more stable accommodation. WATCH | Tiny home project in K
