CBRM Pallet Shelter Village

In the CBRM, New Dawn and the Ally Centre of Cape Breton, have partnered to host 30 Pallet Shelters for vulnerable residents. The shelters which will be staffed 24-7 will be ready for residents in February 2024.

Pallet is a public benefit corporation working to end the crisis of unsheltered homelessness. Their interim shelter solutions are designed with input from individuals with lived experience and residents living in the over 120 shelter communities around the country.

The pallet village model is centered on the provision of onsite supportive services like job placement, healthcare, and basic needs like food, water, and hygiene facilities, with the ultimate goal of creating successful transitions to permanent housing.

The shelters are placed in a “village” or community-style setting (all on one site) and are paired with on-site 24/7 staffing and supports for the residents who live there. The site will include washrooms (with showers), accessible washrooms (with showers), and laundry facilities.

The shelters are not made of palettes, rather each individual dwelling arrives packaged on a palette, making shipping and assembly quick and simple.

We are in Unama’ki, one of the seven traditional and unceded ancestral territories of the people of Mi’kma’ki. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship which the Mi’kmaq first signed with the British Crown in 1726.
