Not in my neighbourhood. That's the frustrating message being heard loud and clear at Inn from the Cold as they search the city for a new building for their homeless shelter. Inn from the Cold is currently at 1157 Sutherland Avenue. The were recently given a slight reprieve as the deadline to vacate has been extended until December 31.
Executive Director Jan Shulz says, "it appears that there aren't many, if any people in Kelowna who would like to have us as neighbours". At the moment, 45 homeless people stay with them every night. They're looking for a facility of similar or even a little smaller in size. Shulz says if they are unsuccessful, then those 45 people could be out on the street in the middle of winter.
