As colder weather approaches, demand for a warm place to sleep skyrockets. The need for additional spaces is also being affected by the increased number of refugee claimants coming to Winnipeg without a safe place to stay and weather-appropriate clothing.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/salvationdev.wpengine.com\/pranorth\/files\/2023\/11\/Image-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/>Working closely with the other shelters and organizations serving the houseless community in Winnipeg, the Centre of Hope identified an opportunity to serve the local community and newcomers. The Centre of Hope is uniquely positioned with appropriate space to increase capacity and address this emerging need.<\/p>\n<p>The additional 60 beds will bring the total number of beds available to 370, which includes spaces for families. The Centre will also be adding cold-weather beds as needed. The Winnipeg Centre of Hope is the only shelter in Manitoba that has dedicated spaces to keep families together regardless of what the family unit looks like.JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRmVtYmVkLmphc3BlcnBsYXllci5jb20lM0ZicmFuZCUzRENUVl9ORVdTJTI2ZGVzdGluYXRpb24lM0RjdHZuZXdzX3dlYiUyNmxhbmd1YWdlJTNERU4lMjZjb250ZW50SWQlM0QyNzkwNzg2JTIyJTIwZnJhbWVib3JkZXIlM0QlMjIwJTIyJTIwYWxsb3clM0QlMjJhdXRvcGxheSUzQiUyMGNsaXBib2FyZC13cml0ZSUzQiUyMGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYSUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==Read or watch more on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/manitoba\/salvation-army-emergency-shelter-beds-winnipeg-1.7002846\">CBC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/winnipeg.citynews.ca\/video\/2023\/10\/20\/the-salvation-army-winnipeg-centre-of-hope-adds-60-beds-to-support-refugee-claimants\/\">City News<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/winnipeg.ctvnews.ca\/our-emergency-shelters-are-full-salvation-army-adds-60-new-beds-anticipating-influx-of-refugees-1.6611005\">CTV<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/10040272\/more-beds-at-salvation-armys-centre-of-hope-as-demand-increases\/amp\/\">Global News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Salvation Army Winnipeg Centre of Hope has been serving Winnipeg at its current location, 180 Henry Avenue, since 1961.
