The Streetlink Shelter, the bane of downtown businesses and place of last refuge for many homeless people, will be moved from Store Street as part of an initiative that will also create an additional 78 supportive housing units and 35 shelter beds. Victoria's Ellice Street park, north of downtown, will be the site of the new facility. The announcement was made yesterday as part of a sweeping homeless initiative by the City of Victoria and the province that will see more than 170 housing units constructed for homeless people. The plan includes units that will be redeveloped. (excerpt from the article)
