New Supportive Housing Facility Officially Opens in St. John’s

The John Howard Society of Newfoundland and Labrador opened Garrison Place in St. John’s on Friday.

Garrison Place, a new 10-unit supportive housing facility assisting individuals experiencing or most at risk of homelessness, is funded through an equally cost-shared $1.25 million investment by the Governments of Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador under the Investment in Affordable Housing Agreement.

This project also received an additional $100,000 for programming and services space through the Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation’s Provincial Homelessness Fund, and $232,475 from the Federal Government’s Homelessness Partnering Strategy.
