The 40 bed, temporary homeless shelter on Riverside in Abbotsford is going to be staying open longer than originally planned.
It opened in mid-December and was supposed to close on April 30th, but now looks like it will stay open until May 20th. As Mayor Henry Braun told us last week, the shelter has been quite successful so far….13 people who have been through the shelter have now found permanent housing. There has already been some discussion about keeping it open past May, but that hasn’t yet been decided.
