Yesterday, the City of Cornwall and United Way SDG announced that the former Parisien Manor will provide housing to residents living in encampments and/or on the homelessness waitlist (By-Name List) during the winter months.
The initiative, named the Stepping Stone Project, on the day of announcement had already moved in 6 residents.
