In one week, a local housing and support facility for newcomers to the Edmonton area will become a rental building, after the federal government pulled funding for the program.
As of April 1, Trinity Manor in central Edmonton will become a rental building, after Citizenship and Immigration Canada ended its funding.
"We won't be in the building anymore," Eric Ambtman, with the Mennonite Centre for Newcomers said. "So instead of being able to walk down the hall and ask for help, or get advice, or even find a babysitter, you'll now have to make an appointment."
Program coordinators told CTV News they will try to continue some support programs for residents.
The facility had provided affordable housing and support services to newcomers to Canada since 2004.
