DARTMOUTH, N.S. — After struggling to nail down a location, the Nova Scotia government announced on Friday a temporary winter shelter will be opening later this month in Dartmouth.
"As the weather starts to get colder, I am pleased to say we have secured a location for the winter shelter," said Trevor Boudreau, minister of Community Services in a news release."We know we need a variety of solutions to support people experiencing homelessness, and this shelter is one option that will help people now."
An evening meal and a continental breakfast will be provided by Upwards Mobility Kitchens East and support services will be provided by 902 ManUp, an organization of African-Nova Scotian men promoting safe and healthy communities. It is meant to be a temporary winter shelter that will operate every night until the spring, and there is an option to extend it.
