"More than just a set of units." This transitional housing on Yellowknife's edge aims to prepare people for independent living. It's set to open on December 15.
Housing NWT will start operating Yellowknife's day shelter and sobering centre from April next year, taking over from the territory's health authority.
A new all-in-one building could help Yellowknife's youth shelter expand its programs, though funding for the nine-storey project has yet to be secured.
Yellowknife Street Outreach, which provides safe rides to vulnerable people, will move from one-year to three-year operating contracts after a 5-3 council vote.
A vacant federally owned building in downtown Yellowknife is reopening as 36 social housing units operated by Housing NWT. Officials held a tour on Thursday.
