Transitional Homeless Shelter at 1002 Medical Drive
To address homelessness without over-concentrating services downtown, the city is shifting away from its previous reunification center plan. Instead, they are partnering with Families in Crisis to expand shelter bed capacity and with Syntax Arc to build a transitional housing campus on Liberty Street.
Proposed Homeless Shelter Rezoning
Council approved rezoning a property on Medical Drive to R-3A with staff conditions to allow an emergency shelter and transitional housing program. Neighbors and nearby school representatives voiced concerns about security and proximity to children.
