Proposed July 2024 Contract for Shelter Services Held Another Five Weeks.

Written by Amy Whipple

  • The $1,500,000 contract with Auberle—a long‑established local social services provider—has been held in committee since July 2024.
  • The contract will be fully funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s HOME Investment Partnerships American Rescue Plan (HOME‑ARP) program, designed to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability.
  • Funds may be used for private units, temporary shelter, and costs associated with acquisition, new construction, or rehabilitation of existing structures.
  • Councilmember Wilson updated Council that a HUD representative has reviewed an updated proposal giving preference to homeless families. A meeting with Urban Design Ventures is scheduled for April 17 to plan the amendment process, which will include a yet to be scheduled public hearing.
