flag Huron County renewed its year-round bridge housing program for one year despite staff urging a longer extension.

flag Huron County has renewed its year-round bridge housing program for one year, despite staff recommending a two-year extension for stability. flag Launched in 2024, the program replaced a seasonal emergency shelter with permanent support through two county-owned units and a six-bedroom transitional home in Goderich. flag In its first year, 86 people accessed services, with six securing permanent or transitional housing, seven gaining employment, and 23 becoming “document ready” for subsidized housing. flag County council approved the one-year renewal at $190,000, rejecting a $430,000 two-year option due to cost concerns. flag Officials noted the program reduces emergency service use, improves housing readiness, and offers consistent support, but some worry long-term funding may shift burdens to other governments.
