A long awaited debate in London reached its conclusion on Thursday, with city council voting to move forward on the five proposed homeless hub locations.

On Sept. 20, city hall announced the proposed locations of the city's five homeless hubs. 

The hubs would serve Indigenous, youth, women and female-identifying homeless populations.

The council meeting to decide whether or not to approve the five proposed locations got underway at 1p.m. on Thursday.

Late Thursday afernoon, council voted to pass its homeless hub plan it its entirety, including all clauses, locations and sites.

The only caveat is the Fanshawe Park Road West location, which is pending rezoning application. That process will allow business owners and residents opposing its conversion a chance to air their views one more time.
