We're in North Simcoe, here, which encompasses Midland,
Penatang, Tiny, Tay and Christian Island.
The need was really about establishing a way to respond
to people who are in an emergency situation.
If they're homeless, if they're at risk of losing their housing,
or they're in unsafe living situations,
the community needed a way to respond to that.
The Alliance to End Homelessness identified the need but also
realised that no community partners could take such a large
project on, and thus Shelter Now was formed.
Hartog House is a 20-unit transitional housing complex.
We have onsite supports and some of those supports come from
Shelter Now and some of those supports come from local
community agencies that are renting in the building.
There is a revenue stream that comes in from those agencies
as well which helps with our operating costs.
