SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I. — One year in, and staff at the low-barrier men’s shelter on Summerside’s Winter Street are still seeing a need for the service.
Such supports include a place to sleep, shower and eat. Shelter residents also have access to programs and computers, to help them workshop their resume, look for jobs, or get in touch with social services. “We’re open 24-7. We provide three meals a day,” said Cosgrove. “A lot of will spend the day working on their case plans, whether it be going to meetings, or getting in touch with mental health, or looking for a job, building a resume, that sort of thing.”
That man is not the only success story at the shelter. In the past year, Cosgrove said she and her staff have helped twelve men find a permanent place to call home. After months of operating the shelter, Cosgrove said the facility is running smoothly, with few hurdles and challenges. Working at the Winter Street shelter and coming face-to-face with Summerside’s homeless population, Forster sees the need for the shelter.
