Individuals seeking shelter must visit an office, receive a number, and wait possibly for days to be allocated a new shelter after their initial 30-day stay.
- After the 30-day shelter stay, individuals are directed to an office to seek further assistance.
- At the office, they receive a number and wait in line, potentially for several days, to discuss shelter options.
- The waiting period at this office can extend up to 4 to 10 days.
- The location for this process is indicated as Saint Bridges.

I kept saying they have to find another shelter.
0:36:10
Are they not when the 30 days are up, are they not given another referral?
0:36:14
Do they are they going back to the the original shark the intakes in terms.
0:36:21
Sorry.
0:36:21
I'm just trying to figure out what that means when they're saying they're they are finding their own shelters.
0:36:25
Are they then, like, getting support from other people?
0:36:28
Because I know, especially, it's been a lot of folks helping each other saying, hey, this might be open, but I'm just trying to get a little clarity about what do they mean while they're finding another shelter to go to.

Okay.
UNKNOWN
0:38:01
Only through default.
UNKNOWN
0:38:03
So when we're done with the 30 days, there's an office that's called 180 something.
0:38:08
I couldn't understand the whole address, but There's an office where you go to.
0:38:12
And in that office, they give you a number.
0:38:14
And once you have that number, you just basically wait in line for a very long time in order to just be dealt with so you can talk to someone.
0:38:21
And then from there, you find another shelter.
0:38:24
But that area where you wait at that address is can be quite long.
Althea Stevens
0:38:29
Do we know, like, how long a couple hours?
UNKNOWN
0:38:46
4 days, about 4 days.
Althea Stevens
0:38:48
So wait.
UNKNOWN
0:39:01
He says at that address, some people sometimes it take 4 days.
0:39:04
And actually, it's a short period of times, it could take a while longer than that.
0:39:06
Sometimes it's up to 10 days.
0:39:07
So, basically, every single day, go to that address, and they just wait.
Althea Stevens
0:39:11
So, also, they'll go and then they'll leave.
0:39:14
And this is at Saint Bridges?
UNKNOWN
0:39:16
Pardon me?
Althea Stevens
0:39:17
Is this at Saint Bridges?
UNKNOWN
0:39:19
Mhmm.
0:39:19
Yeah.
0:39:19
Saint British.
UNKNOWN
0:39:20
Yep.
0:39:20
It is.
Althea Stevens
0:39:21
Okay.
0:39:22
And just my last question.
