A small encampment in front of the Monument de la francophonie near the Cornwall Curling Centre has drawn attention to the city’s growing homelessness crisis.
Tents have become a more common sight across Cornwall recently, reflecting a shift from hidden to visible homelessness.
Advocates say rising rents, limited affordable housing, and the absence of a permanent emergency shelter are key factors.
While the city has invested in outreach and temporary crisis beds, the lack of a year-round shelter continues to raise concerns among residents and service providers.
