The absence of shelter services for men who are homeless in Orangeville, is an issue Mayor Sandy Brown is hoping to address.
At a Council meeting on April 26, He brought forward a motion to form a Mayor’s Special Committee on the issue.
Terms of Reference for the committee are expected at Council’s May 31 meeting, at which time town staff will be directed to advertise for volunteers for the committee.
The committee will have six members of the public, two councilors, and Mayor Sandy Brown with the goal of bringing shelter services for men into the community in time for winter.
A Needs Assessment Study is currently underway, being conducted by Guelph University, to determine the severity of homelessness in Orangeville.
