City Council’s Emergency and Community Services Committee approved $520,000 in annual funding for the Native Women’s Centre Mountainview Emergency Shelter effective June 1, and renewed until March 31, 2018.
The 15 bed shelter serves all women in need of emergency housing.
The City could not find a consultant to review its youth homeless strategies. In the interim, until the City can find a consultant, the Notre Dame House youth shelter has been giving $200,000 in one time funding.
