The expected completion date of the 30-bed safe space at the new Durbanville Public Transport Interchange (PTI) development at the Durbanville taxi rank is end of June this year already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is part of the City of Cape Town\u2019s plan to add 330 more shelter beds at two new safe spaces to help homeless people off the streets, as reported by <\/a>TygerBurger<\/a><\/em> a week ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 300-bed safe space is also on the cards for Green Point, to help people off the streets in the city centre (CBD) and seaboard area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

READ | <\/strong>Shelter space planned at taxi rank in Durbanville<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patricia van der Ross, the City\u2019s Mayco member for community service and health said the City\u2019s social development and early childhood development department confirms that the facility will be completed by 30 June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The City\u2019s safe spaces offer two meals per day, showers and sanitation, and access to a range of care interventions, Ross said earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes referrals for mental health care, addiction treatment, job placement, family reunification, and help getting identity cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA large number of people living in public spaces suffer from mental afflictions, addiction, depression, psychosis, trauma, or familial abuse. This situation was exacerbated by extended national Covid-19 lockdowns and the related economic impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor this reason, safe spaces offer care interventions designed to reintegrate people into society and help them off the streets on a sustainable basis,\u201d Van der Ross said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob Quintas, the City\u2019s Mayco member for urban mobility, commented on enquiry by TygerBurger<\/em> that construction of the Durbanville PTI development will start in September 2025 and will take about two years to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe City is still busy with the conceptual design phase of the proposed PTI, the regulatory and other processes will follow as required once the conceptual design has been finalised,\u201d Quintas says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
