Adelaide Street Shelter Reopens Following Restoration Work

Adelaide Street Shelter will reopen for overnight shelter services and day services beginning at 9 a.m. on Thursday, May 15.

Restoration efforts at the Adelaide Street Shelter, located at 38 Cowdy St., have now been completed following a plumbing incident last week. Beginning tomorrow, May 15, at 9 a.m., overnight shelter services and day services operated by Lionhearts will resume at the Adelaide Street Shelter.

The shelter’s capacity will now be set at 55 beds, a reduction from previous numbers. This adjustment is based on the continued availability of emergency shelter options across all emergency shelters, and part of the larger plan to begin wind down of shelter services at the Adelaide Street Shelter by the end of 2025.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Lionhearts, the dedicated staff in the Housing & Social Services and the Facilities Management & Construction Services departments at the City, and all service providers who have worked tirelessly over the past week to ensure continued support for individuals accessing shelter services. Their commitment to community care and collaboration has been invaluable.
