Social agencies, the police, health and city workers will operate under one roof to help bolster efforts to help homeless people in Edmonton.
The agencies moved into a collective space at the Union Building in the Central McDougall neighbourhood Wednesday.
The groups held a news conference Wednesday to discuss the program called HELP — Human-centered Engagement and Liaison Partnership.
Edmonton Police Chief Dale McFee said the coordinated response is meant to address the myriad of issues facing vulnerable people.

Council votes to allow Edmonton Convention Centre's temporary shelter until end of April

EDMONTON --
The Tipinawâw shelter at the Edmonton Convention Centre will remain in place until April 30.
City council voted unanimously Thursday to provide the extra $2.2 million administration says is needed to operate the temporary shelter for another month.
The shelter was previously slated to close March 31.
While city councillors did approve the temporary shelter's extension, some pointed out that the makeshift space should still be seen as a "band-aid solution" to a problem in need of more permanent measures.
"I think we've learned a lot about the standard of care and meeting people where they're at," Mayor Don Iveson said shortly before council's vote.

The temporary pandemic shelter Tipinawâw at the Edmonton Convention Centre on Jasper Avenue will remain open until the end of April, city council agreed unanimously at a meeting Thursday.
The extended operations will cost $2.2 million, an amount available in a COVID-19-specific fund set aside in the city's stabilization reserve. This is in addition to the $8 million the city invested in the shelter last fall.

The campaign was also a fundraiser for the Mustard Seed, a Christian non-profit organization, with the mall committed to donating $2.50 for every $25 spent and for every customer entry submitted. In addition to the $12,000, the mall also provided 600 items of warm clothing.
Mustard Seed development specialist Alexandra Scivoletto said in the news release that the campaign was incredibly successful.
