Peterborough homeless camping on city property after Warming Room shelter forced to close
Several dozen people are now camping on municipal property after the Warming Room homeless shelter in Peterborough abruptly closed on Sunday.
According to Warming Room director Christian Harvey, the shelter was unable to renew its lease at the Murray Street Baptist Church after a five-year deal expired. The closure saw about 40 people forced to pack their belongings and leave the building on Sunday.
