Safe Harbour disappointed over continued wait for shelter funding
Last March, Red Deer was promised a $7 million, 120-bed emergency homeless shelter by the then NDP Government of Alberta.
That funding was not included in the UCP’s first budget tabled Thursday.
Mayor Tara Veer reiterated there is a need for 24/7 shelter in our city.
“We’ve discussed this need with the Minister of Seniors and Housing and we will be working alongside her in the coming months to convey the scope and needs in Red Deer to ensure it is included in future budgets,” she said.
