A single 60-bed shelter is being considered in Saskatoon as the city struggles to find suitable spots for two 30-bed operations.
A report to city council Wednesday says that there have been several challenges in finding potential locations.beds in an open shelter-type hall showers, bathrooms, kitchenproximity to other services should be considered
zoned appropriately if possible, or applicable for consideration under the City’s Emergency Residential Shelter zoning provisions.Additional criteria imposed by the city included making sure that the potential facilities would be at least 250 metres from any elementary school in the Saskatoon Public Schools or Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools systems.
A 15-bed complex care facility will be established along Idylwyld Drive, with the report saying that the province intends to open it in the relatively near future. A 30-bed shelter was being considered for the Sutherland neighbourhood at a former fire hall, but outcry from the community and the new criteria created by the city took that location off the list.
The city is tasked with finding suitable locations for the shelters and will be funded by the Ministry of Social Services.
