Camp Hope moving to Warehouse District building on Monday
Global News
Forty beds at a new emergency shelter will provide Camp Hope residents with a safe warm alternative to their outdoor conditions, and access to other support services.
With Winter weather upon Regina, Camp Hope is moving indoors.
The city of Regina announced Friday that a building on Hamilton Street has been leased for six months to house Camp Hope (formerly known as Camp Marjorie) and other folks facing housing insecurity.
The move will begin today.
Regina Treaty Status Indian Services (RTSIS) will be leading the transition and operating the emergency centre.
“Forty beds at this new emergency shelter will provide current camp residents and others who need shelter, with a safe warm alternative to their outdoor conditions, and access to other support services,” said Erica Beaudin, Executive Director of RTSIS.
“Over the next few days, RTSIS will be on site at the outdoor camp, to work one-on-one with residents, as we plan for a successful transition from the dangerously cold conditions of the outdoor camp into the warmth of the emergency shelter,” Beaudin said.
Asked if the shelter will be able to accommodate all of Camp Hope’s residents, Beaudin said the new shelter is not the only one available to residents. In the upcoming weeks, the RTSIS will be able to tell if it can meet what is needed.
“The temporary space is planned for six months,” she added.
