Over $5 million in provincial funding was announced Friday for the new men's shelter and Community Resource Centre
The men's shelter and Community Resource Centre being built in a former elementary school at Wellington and East streets is expected to open by June and, on Friday, the project received more than $5 million from the provincial government.
DSSAB CEO Mike Nadeau said the space is envisioned as a safe place where people who are homeless and struggle with mental health and addiction challenges can come to get the services they need. More good news came Friday, when the Ontario government announced $4.4 million in funding for the project through the Social Services Relief Fund, and an additional $623,865 from the Ontario Priorities Housing Initiative.
“What we are experiencing here in Sault Ste. Marie is being experienced all across the north and every DSSAB is taking those initiatives and taking those steps to address it,” said Holland.
