The Ontario government is marking the opening of the Integrated Care Hub, a new emergency shelter with twelve beds in Kawartha Lakes.
The project was funded by the province with an $850,000 investment to help provide more supportive housing for individuals experiencing homelessness.
“Every person in Ontario deserves access to safe and stable housing,” said Rob Flack, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. “Together with our municipal partners, our government is expanding supportive housing across the province to protect our most vulnerable residents and ensure they have a safe place to rebuild their lives.”
Located at 22 Peel Street, the Integrated Care Hub provides drop-in space, life skills support and health-related services in partnership with local service providers and Ontario Health.
The shelter is situated close to essential amenities and is owned and operated by the John Howard Society of the Kawarthas.
