The funding for the 25 bed shelter that is operated by the North Coast Transition Society was confirmed as part of an announcement Friday providing for funding for twelve shelters that are located in communities across British Columbia.
No details were provided as part of the Friday announcement towards much of the shelter money was to be allocated to the Prince Rupert location.
You can review the announcement here.
The provincial announcement is a bit of recycling of a previous announcement of August, when it was previously noted that the Third Avenue shelter would remain open until the permanent facility was ready for occupancy.
Last week, North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice posted the first photos of the new modular housing construction project taking shape at the Park avenue site, if all goes as planned it is hoped to have the new facility open to those in need early in 2019.
