MEMBERS' MOTIONS

M-1. Homelessness Services Feasibility Study
As presented by Councillor Leduc:

WHEREAS homelessness, mental health and addiction issues have grown considerably and have become much more evident in the community over the past number of years, and most notably since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic;

AND WHEREAS the City’s downtown core is experiencing the greatest impact due to systemic issues;

AND WHEREAS services such as the Off the Street Shelter, Cedar Place Women and Family Shelter, Samaritan Centre and Rapid Mobilization Table existed in the community even before the onset of the pandemic;

AND WHEREAS additional services have been implemented for this vulnerable population during the pandemic such as the Homelessness Network Day Centre, the YMCA Overnight Warming Centre, Temporary Youth Shelter, and dining services;

AND WHEREAS although additional services for the vulnerable population are in place to meet basic needs and provide safe shelter, they are sometimes challenging for users to navigate, and a service gap remains;

AND WHEREAS during the recent community engagement sessions the need for access to centralized affordable housing and a one-stop shop for services was highlighted;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Greater Sudbury directs staff to outsource a feasibility study to look at a one stop location for homelessness services, and that the cost of the feasibility study, estimated at $150,000, be funded through the Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve;

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the study be presented to Council prior to the 2022 budget deliberations for possible inclusion as a business case.
