In a statement, HATS said criteria to house some 25 cabins at a central Hamilton site were 'not being fully met,' severely compromising the pilot.

The first tiny cabin for Hamilton's homeless residents has been unveiled in front of Christ's Church Cathedral on James Street North.

“The organization felt too many of its essential site selection criteria were not being fully met, which would severely compromise the success of the pilot to the detriment of all of its community partners,” HATS said in a release. Housing services division head Michelle Baird responded by saying although there was no public consultation specific to the Strachan site, there were “broader consultations” this year on managing encampments, including sanctioned sites.

Roughly 1,900 people are experiencing homelessness in Hamilton, with about 10 per cent living outside, according to the city.
