Construction of 35 emergency spaces and ten transitional housing units at the Warming Center in Cobourg is now complete. A residency occupancy permit has been issued. It is expected that people can begin accessing the emergency spaces later this week, while consideration for transitional housing is taking place. Occupancy of the housing units is expected in the New Year.
However, two people who may access services at the facility have mixed reactions to its potential benefits. CFWN news reporter Dan Jones spoke with Lara Robertson, who is skeptical, while her partner Dave Scott is looking forward to seeing what is offered.
