Bob Walker came up with a new concept
- A new registered Charity to provide the facilities and the leadership for an OOTC program in Milton
- The Charity to be sponsored initially by St Paul's with the support of other institutions in Milton - churches, service clubs, businesses and individuals
- The charity to have a paid part time director
- The facilities to include a storefront space in one of the new malls
- The space be sufficient to sleep 10 and feed 20 persons
- The space have a kitchen, washrooms, shower, laundry, 2 subdivisions for sleeping men as well as women and children
- The space eventually be used possibly 7 days per week
- The space suitable for satellite ministry
Funding for capital improvements, rent and the director's salary to be provided by Halton Hosuing Funds
- Additional funding be provided by churches, service clubs, businesses, individuals and special fund raisers
- The operation to start small and grow as the need and the competance increases
- Although initially its emphasis would be to provide winter night shelter, it could expand to provide year round facilities for transitioning housing
