Provincial officials said Tuesday that 300 new social housing units have been purchased and wraparound support services will be provided by local non-profit organizations.
RELATED: More than 200 volunteers will survey people experiencing homelessness across Winnipeg this week as part of the 2024 Winnipeg Street Census – Nov 5, 2024The Manitoba government says it will work with its municipal counterpart next month to move 700 people experiencing homelessness and living in encampments into housing.
“Encampments aren’t safe for the people living there and they’re not safe for the families, seniors and businesses nearby. Our plan will move people out of tents and into warm, safe, secure housing with wraparound supports to help make sure they stay housed.”The plan is being led by Tessa Blaikie Whitecloud, who has worked with community outreach and social services organizations for over a decade, and has served as CEO of Siloam Mission for the past three years.
Mayor Scott Gillingham said the project was an example of teamwork on the part of the civic and provincial governments.There’s ‘something dangerous brewing’ when it comes to Trump and CanadaSaskatchewan sending 16 officers to shore up Canada-U.S. border security
