The provincial government has confirmed that the original owners of the former Comfort Inn, now Horizons 106, have sold the building.
The province announced in January 2024 that it would be leasing the former hotel for three years, at a total cost of $21-million, to provide transitional housing supports for those who need it in partnership with End Homelessness St. John’s.
In a statement to VOCM News, the housing department says the new owners have indicated that they “intend to maintain the facility for its existing purpose,” and note that Horizons 106 remains a temporary measure while more permanent solutions are put in place.
