Transitional housing is a critical component in addressing homelessness, providing a bridge between emergency shelters and permanent housing. In Cornwall, Ontario, the city has taken significant steps to implement transitional housing solutions2. For instance, the city announced plans to use a former nursing home as a transitional housing and support services hub, aiming to move people to more permanent sites, including a former school being retrofitted to provide supportive housing units and tiny homes.
