Essex County Homelessness Hub to continue service levels

The Essex County Homelessness Hub will continue with its level of services, thanks to surplus funds.

The Essex County Homelessness Hub will continue to provide the same level of services, despite a funding shortfall.

Essex County Council voted to use surplus funds from its community services budget to help keep operations afloat.

Rising costs and a decrease in funding have made an impact on the operation in Leamington.

Stagg say the surplus was the result of a budget review, showing some clients need less financial support than expected.

Up to $25,000 was also approved for a temporary outreach worker to improve data collection.
