Youth Transitional Housing Facility

Currently, the City is exploring the potential of a Youth Transitional Housing Facility. This recommendation has arisen out of the 2020 Mayor’s Task Force to end Homelessness and is infomed by the 2024 Youth Transitional Housing Feasibility Report. I’ve linked both below:

• 2020 Mayor’s Task Force

• 2024 Feasibility Report

City Council has received an update on this on a couple of occasions and you can review those presentations from admin here:

• June 10th 2025 Committee of the Whole Presentation - YouTube of Council Meeting

• February 17 2026 Committee of the Whole Presentation - YouTube of Council Meeting

City Council also received a through briefing from admin at our Committee of the Whole meeting March 10th. Residents were also welcome to attend and speak or simply observe for additional information.

• March 10th Committee of the Whole Presentation - YouTube of Council Meeting (starts at about 1:06)

The City is now proceeding with a request for proposal to hopefully find an operator for the proposed facility. Through this process, the City hopes to identify an operator that can bring forward a proposal. It is important to note that though the feasibility report identified the old firehall location as a preferred location, no location has been determined and no land has been requested. Those details will come forward as a part of any proposal by a future operator.
