Project Update, Nov. 23:

Option 4 was passed at the City Council Meeting Number 29-2023 on Nov. 7.

Sleeping Cabins Update and Next Steps (Option 4)

That staff be directed to work with Our Livable Solutions as the operators of the site on a wind down of the current Sleeping Cabin pilot program; and 

That staff be directed to work with existing supportive and transitional housing providers in the Kingston area to prepare a plan for the residents who currently participate in the Sleeping Cabin program to transition to alternate housing solutions that meet their individual needs; and 

That staff return to Council by end of March 2024, with the details of this transition plan, including required financial supports for service providers, associated transition timelines and potential alternative uses for the existing cabins.

Project update, Oct. 27:

Since opening engagement on long-term locations for the cabins, more than 2,800 people have visited the Get Involved Kingston page and more than 730 participants have taken the time to complete the survey. To allow staff time to compile and analyze the feedback, we are adjusting the feedback timelines as follows: 

  • All feedback received between Sept. 18 and Oct. 31 will be compiled and included in the staff report to Council, which will be available online on Thursday, Nov. 2 as part of the Nov. 7 Council agenda. This includes feedback received at the in-person information sessions on Sept. 26 and 28. 
  • Feedback received between Oct. 31 and Nov. 2 by 4 p.m. will be compiled and provided to Council on Nov. 6.

We appreciate the time the community has taken to comment on the long-term locations and assure the community feedback received through Get Involved Kingston will be shared with Council before its meeting on Nov. 7.

Help determine the future location of the sleeping cabin program! 

This Council-directed initiative aims to continue the search for a long-term location for the sleeping cabins to stay in year-round. View the previous engagement summary from Sept. 2022.

Rodden Park: Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, Thursday, Sept. 28 from 6-8 p.m.
