After a few road blocks, St. Stephen will get its own homeless shelter.
Neighbourhood Works and the provincial government are partnering to open the town’s first long-term shelter.
The town declared a state of emergency last winter after a homeless man died.
Some residents opposed the initial shelter location on Happy Valley Road, which was indefinitely paused by then-Minister Kathy Bockus.
According to the CBC, a temporary one was open from February to April.
The new out of the cold shelter will have a similar timeframe, running from December and run until April.
Then it will become a Homeless Hub, focused on housing and outreach services.
