A homeless outreach organization appears set to keep a city-owned property for at least one more year, which it uses to help vulnerable people escape extreme weather.
On Friday, council’s property and development committee will be asked to cast a final vote on extending the St. Boniface Street Links lease of 604 St. Mary’s Rd. until Nov. 30, 2026, with a rent of $1 per year.
A new report notes the city is negotiating a long-term lease of the site with Street Links but hasn’t yet reached a deal.
The organization has used the site to offer a 24-7 city-funded safe space since 2023.
