Guelph, Ont., celebrated the opening Wednesday of a new housing project to help people get off the streets. The facility has space for up to 32 people experiencing homelessness.
The newest supportive housing project in Guelph has officially opened its doors.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place Wednesday morning outside 10 Shelldale, which will house up to 32 people who are experiencing chronic homelessness.
“Today is a day of celebration,” said Kristen Kerr, CEO of Stonehenge Therapeutic Community.
“It’s not always one we get to have. There are a lot of challenges in our community, but this is a day to celebrate.”
The project was developed as a partnership between Stonehenge, Kindle Communities, Guelph Community Foundation, United Way Guelph-Wellington-Dufferin, and Guelph Community Health Centre.
Representatives from the organizations were on hand for the event, along with Mayor Cam Guthrie and members of city council, Wellington County Warden Andy Lennox, Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones, Associate Minister of Housing Vijay Thanigasalam, Guelph MP Lloyd Longfield, and Guelph MPP Mike Schreiner .
“It’s especially difficult when you have to bring in all levels of government and different organizations together to get the programming,” said Jason Ashdown, co-founder and chief sustainability officer of Skyline, the developer that helped construct the building.
“It’s a huge day to get this done and put a bow around it.”
