Thompson CMHA, Thompson homeless shelter, and Thompson housing agency provided reports on their activities over the last year.

CMHA President Dan Murphy said 2014 proved to be busy with many changes for the organization. They opened the doors to Project Northern Doorway, entered an agreement with the NRHA and adopted a new governance model.

Murphy says these changes have resulted in more individuals moving on to successful employment and living.

Executive Director of the Shelter, Paulette Simpkins reported an occupancy rate of almost 84% for the past year, down from 90.74 from the year before.

The shelter will be undergoing some major repairs in the upcoming year, but members say a better facility is needed to house more individuals, and to increase services.
