May 13, 2021 - 11:06 AM
The province is investing $553,000 to provide safe, permanent homes and support services for men exiting homelessness in Sydney.
The Cape Breton Community Housing Association will provide supportive housing for six men at its Union Street property and will continue to provide supports for eight others at its Margaret Street site.
“We’re working to ensure people in our community who may be experiencing homelessness or are in temporary emergency shelters have the supports they need,” said Derek Mombourquette, Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development, on behalf of Kelly Regan, Minister of Community Services. “Our goal is to provide more permanent, supportive housing for people across the province, including in Cape Breton Regional Municipality.”
