Helping homeless people get a start on a pemanent place to live: the NL government is helping pay for a supportive housing project in Gander

CBC Newfoundland Morning

The provincial government will invest $1.3 million to help set up transitional housing in Gander. The money is meant to create temporary places where homeless people can stay, in the hope that they'll eventually find permanent places to live. The Central Residential Services Board will run the facility's day-to-day operations and hire the staff. John Abbott is the province's Minister of Housing.
