Crossroads United Church partners with Our Livable Solutions to provide a long-term home for Kingston's sleeping cabins, pending city approvals and utility installations.
Centre, has partnered with Our Livable Solutions to continue operating the sleeping cabins even after city funding ends this fall.
After years of uncertainty and moving from one property to another, OLS has finally secured a long-term solution to house more than a dozen sleeping cabins through a deal with Crossroads United Church. The church’s property is situated just steps from the intersection of Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard and Princess Street.
Church board member Allan Baer attributes the partnership to the church’s faith and commitment to social justice. “That’s a strong belief and a strong commitment to social justice. After all, having a roof over your head is, and a right to that is, an issue of social justice,” said Baer.If the deal goes through, Crossroads Village would be in place for 10 years.
The partnership has garnered some support from nearby residents, but the pair understands there could be apprehension. They hope neighbours will learn more about the project during a fundraising event on June 12 and a public meeting at Crossroads United Church on June 26.CBSA strike across Canada set to begin Friday if no deal reachedCanada’s average rent hit new record in May: report
