Province comes through with shelter funding

The provincial government is providing some extra cash to extend the life of the First United Homeless Shelter in Vancouver.

Existing funding was set to expire at the end of this month, but the government says it’ll provide up to one million dollars to keep the shelter open for one more year.

The government says 240 people have been housed through its partnership with first united and other housing providers since last June.
