Summerside's new men's shelter is finally open and has six beds available to those in need of housing. Come along with The Native Council of P.E.I.'s housing development officer Scott Carnall for a tour.

Six beds will be available to those in need of housing at 287 Winter St. starting Monday morning, to help address a dire need for housing in the P.E.I. city.

After several delays, the new men's shelter in Summerside, P.E.I., is set to open this spring, according to the province.

After opening its doors less than a year ago, the shelter for women and children in Summerside is in the process of expanding.

After weeks of discussion, Summerside council has given the green light for the Native Council of P.E.I. to run a men's shelter downtown.

A public meeting on a six-bed, 24-hour-a-day shelter in Summerside drew much support from many of those attending in person, but there were some questions around the location and operations.

A proposal for a 24-hour-a-day, low-barrier men’s shelter in Summerside, P.E.I., goes before a public meeting next month.
