FREDERICTON Fredericton Homeless Shelters Inc. are getting a boost from the, federal government s Veteran and Family Well-Being Fund. Today they announced $40,000 dollars to aid homeless veterans in the city. Many people who leave the military do not need help with the transition but if they do it s so important for the country to make sure that help is there, said Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence. The money is only targeting a portion of the city s homelessness problem, set aside specifically for veterans. It s to help support the vet through that process of you ring the doorbell you re at crisis through stabilization, connections and then into your permanent housing, it can be a quick process as quick as 60-90 days or it can be a really complex long process, said Warren Maddox, Executive Director at Fredericton Homeless Shelters Inc.
