Good Shepherd plans to raze shelter, build supportive housing

Good Shepherd plans to raze shelter, build supportive housing

Social-service agency aims to build 155-unit, 10-storey residence

Teviah Moro, TheSpec.com, Thursday, May 30, 2024

"Good Shepherd plans to tear down its men’s shelter and build a 10-storey supportive-housing residence in its place just east of downtown Hamilton.

The hope is that in demolishing the 54-bed shelter, which dates to 1972, and creating 156 units of housing with support services on-site, more men exit homelessness.

“If people are given the right supports, they can in fact move from homelessness to having a home,” Brother Richard MacPhee, Good Shepherd’s chief executive officer, told The Spectator."

"The agency’s proposal goes before the city’s committee of adjustment on June 11 to request minor variances to make the plan work on the site.

MacPhee says he can’t yet predict when construction might start. For now, next steps involve community fundraising and lining up government funding to make the project happen."

Shame they aren't demolishing the one on York. That place badly needs to be relocated.
