Cold weather shelter being prepared for Vernon homeless
Vernon is preparing new temporary shelter beds ahead of two housing projects being completed in the North Okanagan city.
About 40 short-term beds will be available in November and they’ll be located next to the Gateway shelter at 2804 33rd St.
Called Compass, the project will provide around-the-clock support, as well as offer residents life-skills training, employment assistance and referrals to other community services.
