“We have young single moms with kids, we have older moms with older kids, we have senior citizens, we have single ladies, a lot of different backgrounds and a lot of different stories that brought them to wherever they are in this life,” says Chief Operating Officer Cherry Laxton.
Souls Harbour broke ground on the development a little over a year ago after receiving funds through the federal rapid housing initiative.
Laxton says for many the day was filled with mixed emotions.
“There’s a lot of excitement, but there’s also some tears of joy and just trepidation about moving out into a new space,” says Laxton. “Some of them have been living in shared accommodation for the last few months.”
