After the media excitement over Vancouver's first shipping container housing died down last fall, the buzz on Atira Women's Resource Management's innovative project went silent.

Also in this issue: a viral video of low-income people subjected to violence for cash is sign of a dangerous attitude towards poverty; a new government/YWCA pilot program aims to prepare foster kids for self-sufficient adulthood; the Sochi Olympics are hard to swallow when we remember the broken promises of a socially responsible Vancouver games; increasing alcohol availability increases consumption, but also government's opportunity to fight alcoholism; and much, much more!
