New Fountain Shelter at 51B West Cordova
AHA MEDIA is glad there is a new shelter available for the homeless folk. We have found by going to their website www.newfountainshelter.com, it brings you to a page that tells you the numbers of emergency beds available:
The total beds available
The number of occupied
How many vacant

Vancouver certainly needs more shelter beds! PHS is helping out in this regard, especially with the cold weather we’ve had recently.
