KAWARTHA LAKES-A Place Called Home in partnership with the City of Kawartha Lakes announced an increase in its shelter capacity from 19 to 30 beds, addressing the growing need for housing support in the community.
Additionally, A Place Called Home is working with the City of Kawartha Lakes to administer the Out of the Cold program. This life-saving initiative ensures that individuals and families have a safe place to stay when temperatures drop to dangerous levels or during extreme weather conditions. Starting December 1st, they have successfully moved 15 additional people into the safety of our shelter and made alternate arrangements to provide shelter for another 9 people. This brings the total to 34 people who have shelter during cold and extreme weather conditions.
Officials say A Place Called Home is happy that the work with the City of Kawartha Lakes has led to this much needed expansion of shelter capacity and will continue to provide outstanding and meaningful support to our community members.
If you know someone in need of shelter, please have them call: (705) 328-0905.
