The planning committee of city council approved a residential withdrawal management program to fill an existing building at 210 Lloyd street, which previously served as a retirement home
In a unanimous decision of city council’s planning committee, a seven-bed residential withdrawal management program was approved for 210 Lloyd St. downtown.The committee’s decision was made Nov. 6, and it was ratified by city council as a whole the following night.
In the municipal report tabled for the meeting and a notice of application dropped in area residents’ mailboxes, it is described as a “crisis residence,” which Zuck clarified it is not. “With our program, there’s definitely a referral process, an assessment, and if we can meet their needs, if we have the capacity to help them, then they would be admitted to our program,” she explained.
In a report by city senior planner Bailey Chabot, it’s noted a crisis residence is “a single housekeeping unit licensed or funded by the Province of Ontario for the short term accommodation of three to nine persons, exclusive of staff, living under supervision and who, by reason of either emotional, mental, social or physical condition or legal status, require a group living arrangement for their well-being”.
