The Province says it’s opening eight new supportive housing units in Charlottetown for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. That type of housing bridges the gap between homelessness and permanent housing. Clients of those units will live independently. The Province has partnered with the John Howard Society to provide case-management for clients. The eight units add to the province’s current 18-unit supportive housing at Smith Lodge. Another 13 units were announced last fall and are currently under design. The Province is also partnering with the BCG Prince County, through LifeHouse, to add an additional 10 transitional housing units for women and their children in Summerside. Any person in need of emergency shelter services is asked to call the Shelter Support Line at 1-877-220-4722.
