Council defers acceptance of $1.5 million in federal funds for individual shelter spaces.
Written by Chris Maury
A 4-week hold was placed on a bill addressing the construction of non-congregate shelters by the city in partnership with Auberle. The bill would accept $1.5 million from a federal housing program to provide private, individual shelter spaces for people in need, rather than group shelter settings. No reason was given for the hold.
