“CFOC is honoured to have the opportunity to operate a low-barrier, which does not mean no-barrier, shelter in the Town of Whitby,” said representative Marla Walters. “Recognizing the critical need for additional compassionate and accessible spaces, we stand united in our commitment to fostering a positive impact on the community.
“Now that Christian Faith Outreach Centre has been selected as the service provider, we are one step closer to opening 1635 Dundas Street East and helping people to get back on their feet,” said Stella Danos-Papaconstantinou, Durham’s Commissioner of Social Services. “This project provides an opportunity for people who are experiencing homelessness to receive supports and meet their goals in a healthy environment.
