housing for all
The Inn
is very excited to announce that it is undertaking
to provide a much-needed emergency
shelter/transitional housing facility for the
community. The proposed facility will have 20
emergency beds and 20 transitional housing beds.
The emergency shelter bed will be in a dormitory
style room while the transitional housing beds will
be in apartment style units with 2 - 4 beds per
unit. The emergency shelter will provide
temporary shelter for those who find themselves with
out a bed for the night while the transitional
housing units will provided longer term temporary
accommodation along with supports to assist the
residents in improving and developing their life
skills to enable them to move out into independent
units and better retain their housing.
The
facility will be staffed 24 hours a day with
strained staff that will provide supervision,
supports and counselling.
The Inn
is undertaking a search to locate possible
facilities, considering factors such as the ability
to accommodate the programs, current zoning,
renovation costs, proximity to other services, etc.
Many
thanks to the Young Professionals who have dedicated
this year's race to the
start of a capital fund to help purchase and
renovate the facility. The Inn is working will
all levels of government to seek assistance with
sources of operating revenues.
