The County facilities supporting homeless sheltering and associated services are insufficient for the current population and future projection. And due to COVID-19, the maximum occupancy at each County homeless shelter has decreased to allow for social distancing and spacing of beds. This project will acquire an existing building and retrofit the facility to include space for congregation, meal service, medical offices, and case management offices. The current facility that provides these services for men, located at Taft Court in Rockville, will no longer be available starting spring of 2021. Space in recreation centers that has been used to house men and women during the pandemic must be replaced so the recreation centers can re-open once the pandemic eases to the point programs can resume. This facility will ensure that a full complement of homeless services are available to the men and women seeking emergency shelter in Montgomery County.
