The center is responsible for housing and services for young people and young adults who are currently in a state of indigence or at risk of becoming inhabitants of the streets.

In addition, $ 931,000 will be used to add 60 new beds to a housing program for people who just leave hospitals.

Community leaders have allocated about $ 9.7 million of legal cannabis to next year’s indigent services budget
