The Living Space emergency shelter could be relocated before the end of the year.

At the Nov. 20 board meeting, Cochrane District Services Board (CDSB) outlined the next steps in what they described as an urgent push to address homelessness in Timmins and across the district.

Within weeks, the CDSB wants to identify an alternative site for Living Space emergency shelter as part of a one-site encampment approach. The organization is asking the province to approve using the $3.2 million allocated for the housing, outreach, prevention and engagement (HOPE) initiative cash, according to Timmins Coun. Steve Black in a Facebook post.

Using the HOPE initiative money was not included in the public report available for the Nov. 20 meeting.
