Streets Alive Mission is getting a huge boast to advance a 32-bed recovery centre after city council approved a large portion of funding towards building the facility.

The city will provide over $596,538 from their Affordable and Social Housing Capital Fund towards the project. The proposed facility at 925 – 15th Street South will cost $3.5 million to renovate and modernize to establish recovery housing for men in the complex.
