Two Halifax non-profits are preparing to open 40 new beds by the end of this month for people experiencing homelessness, making up for what was lost earlier this year because of COVID-19 restrictions.
In the city s north end, the Mi kmaw Native Friendship Centre will offer 25 beds designated for Indigenous men and women.
Executive director Pam Glode Desrochers said if ever there s an empty bed and a non-Indigenous person needs it, they won t be turned away but she doesn t expect that to happen any time soon.
