Full job description

The Thunder Bay Shelter Village is a City of Thunder Bay funded Modular Bridge Housing initiative supporting the City’s broader encampment response and community safety objectives. The Village is a temporary program, with operating funding approved for a 5-year period, while longer-term housing solutions continue to be expanded across the community.

Operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the Village will provide structured, low-barrier accommodation with on-site staffing, security, and clear operational policies. The program prioritizes safety, dignity, and respectful use of shared space, while supporting access to existing housing, health, and social services through collaboration with community partners.
