    The Region of Waterloo, The Working Centre and Waterloo Cooperative Residence Incorporated (WCRI) have extended their Interim Housing initiative. The initiative, which began in 2020 as part of the Region’s ongoing response to COVID 19, provides temporary emergency accommodations for people experiencing homelessness, and is managed by the Working Centre.

    The interim housing accommodates up to 80 residents at 139 University Avenue West at University and Albert Streets, near Wilfrid Laurier University’s Waterloo campus.

    Laurier is supportive of the ongoing efforts of the Region, WCRI, the City of Waterloo, local social service agencies and other levels of government to provide housing and services to community members who need extra support. Laurier continues to work with the Region of Waterloo, the Waterloo Region Police Service, the City of Waterloo, the Working Centre and the University of Waterloo to meet ongoing needs, address any concerns and to support positive outcomes for both the project and our university community.

    For more details about the initiative, please connect with the Working Centre.
