Director Monica Klanyi says her students no longer feel safe and sometimes find themselves "stuck" inside with people camping in doorways unwilling to move.

BC Housing recently announced the 80 bed facility will remain in place for another year. Klanyi says unless there are major changes in how Cornerstone operates, the college will have to find a new home.
