Kelowna's strategy to end homelessness got props from the highest political house in the country.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, at the urging of Kelowna-Lake Country MP Stephen Fuhr, praised homeless strategies in Kelowna and nationally.

"I know that his (Fuhr) city of Kelowna recently released their strategy for fighting homelessness," said Trudeau in the House of Commons, referring to the city's Journey Home Strategy.

"I want to thank our member and Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran for working to combat a problem that affects every community.

"Thanks to both our homelessness strategy, Reaching Home, and our national housing strategy, we are improving the lives of Canadians and building communities that benefit everyone. "

Basran, in the midst of a re-election campaign, has touted the Journey Home Strategy as one of the crowning achievements of his first term as mayor.
