Updated (5:50 p.m.) with more information. The first residents are expected to move into Durham Region's newest low-barrier shelter within the next few weeks
The first residents are expected to move into Durham Region’s newest low-barrier shelter within the next few weeks.
While they wait, guests will be able to use the washroom, take a shower or warm up in the dining room. Only a fraction of the building is being used for shelter. Officials and the community liaison committee are discussing plans for the rest of the building, which includes multiple floors. The aim is to provide each resident with wraparound supports, including financial help, job placements and life skills development.
