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.”

The province is investing $350,000 to add 15 temporary shelter beds in partnership with the Mi kmaw Native Friendship Centre in Halifax. The beds will be at the centre’s North Park shelter location until the end of 2021.
With this new funding, the shelter system will have its highest-ever capacity. During the initial waves of the pandemic, the provincial government funded 40 additional shelter beds.
“As the pandemic continues, we are committed to supporting Nova Scotians who need emergency housing,” said Kelly Regan, Minister of Community Services. “And while COVID-19 has increased demand for shelter beds, we know people experiencing homelessness need permanent, supportive housing. We’re working diligently to help create more of those options.”
