A designated homeless encampment site staffed around the clock would require significant resources and could pull support away from other efforts to address homelessness, a new City of Winnipeg report says.
In December, city council voted to have the public service study the creation of a managed encampment pilot site, including identifying potential locations, estimating costs and exploring how it might operate.
That report, set to be discussed at the executive policy committee on April 21, recommends against going ahead with the plan.
