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, including a review of suitable private/public facilities, and that the cost of the feasibility study for an amount up to $150,000 be funded through the Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve;
