Local Homeless Programs Receive Funding

Three area homeless programs will benefit as the result of one-time funding from the Provincial Government.

The 50-thousand dollars was split evenly yesterday by the Kenora District Services Board.

Red Lake will use the money to off-set the costs of on-going operations as well as helping at-risk individuals.

Sioux Lookout will use the funds for various capital improvements.

The Kenora Fellowship Centre plans to use the funds to hire additional staff.
