The half dozen projects received more than $377,655 in the final round of proposals com peting fo r$ l million available for Halton under the National Homelessness Initiative. The first round of funding for homelessness initiatives was announced last June. That's when The Lighthouse, an emergency shelter for home less men. women and children, run by the Oakville Salvation Army and Halton Region Social Services, received $450,000 from the federal Supporting Communities Partnership Initiative (SCPI). The Lighthouse had sought more funding and yes terday. learned it would gel anoth er $58,241. New to Oakville is a project called The Shady Baobab spon sored by the Canadian League of African Women. The Shady Baobab received $48,145 toward a multicultural, culturally-sensitive. 2-3 bedroom Lransilional housing facility on Kerr Street -- plus support and counselling -- for homeless people and families. The Shady Baobab will serve visible minority women, teens and single-parent families. Other projects being funded include a Burlington initiative by the Burlington Community Church of the Salvation Army ($36,755), and a Georgetown transitional housing effort by the Halton Hills Community Support and Information Services ($45,464). In addition. $150,000 will add 10 beds to Halton Women's Place-South in Burlington -- to help 170 more abused women and children annually. A group called the Town Hall Group will also get $39,050 to raise awareness in Halton about poverty, homelessness, and the need for affordable housing. through media coverage and speaking engagements. "Homelessness in Halton is a reality," said Halton Regional Chair Joyce Savoline. At The Lighthouse, the extra money will come in handy as the Salvation Army and the Region pursue a permanent site. The Lighthouse first operated in what was once Grace House on Old Mill Road and later had a temporary, six-bed building at 174 Kenr St., plus four beds in a local apartment building and another three-bedroom apartment on Kerr Street. The Lighthouse will be a 40bed facility with 20 emergency beds for people aged 18 and up, 10 beds for those aged 15 to 18. plus 10 transitional beds. The maximum stay is 30 days, but in extenuating circumstances, can be extended by moving the person to a transitional bed for up to 30 days. The federal funding has boosted the shelter's bank account to more than a third of its required $3.24 million goal. -- With files from Wilma B lokhuis sm ce fm m Pedestrian in serious condition Halton police are investigating a col lision between a van and a pedestrian that left a 22-year old Oakville man with serious injuries Monday.
