In August, the Mayor directed (MDI-2-24-02) City staff to research and prepare options for Winter shelters to present to Council by the end of September 2024.  Following the staff's presentation to the General Information Committee meeting on September 18, the majority of City Council asked staff to move forward with an 80-bed outdoor shelter site at Barton-Tiffany and the addition of 192 temporary shelter beds as part of Hamilton’s continuing efforts to address a growing homelessness crisis.  The outdoor site will offer insulated units, wrap-around support services and onsite amenities, including toilets, showers, and laundry.  Professional staff and security services will be on-site 24 hours daily, seven days a week.  The site operator will be Good Shepherd.  The site will operate as a shelter.
