At Tuesday night's city council meeting, all but the mayor agreed to a call asking the shelter to consider options for relocation.
It was a near-unanimous vote for the resolution that was passed ordering the organization to conduct a review of relocation options and present the findings back to council within three months.
"Where at that time it can be explored what support the city can provide to assist in the relocation," the resolution said.
All but the mayor voted in favour.
"I still oppose this resolution," Mayor Michelle Boileau said, stressing that attempting to move homeless people out of view will not filter out crime.
"The invasion of privacy, the property crime, the break-and-enters, those will persist regardless of where our homeless shelter is located.”
