The City of Windsor has released a stern message as the federal government gets set to stop funding the Interim Housing Assistance Program for asylum claimants.
“We can’t fund this, and we won’t,” said Andrew Daher, city commissioner of human and health services.
He pointed out to media during a news conference that 846 departure notices were handed out by the government for January, February and March.
“About 191 of those folks have been taken care of in January, so we’re left with roughly 600 or so folks that are going to get a letter, it will be effective Feb. 3 and then March 3,” Daher said.
