anchor Description
The Nebel Street Homeless Shelter opened March 2022. This project is Phase 2 and will provide site work improvements including, but not limited to, parking lot, drainage and greenspace improvements. This project will also include an evaluation of the building envelope and preliminary planning for solar facilities.
anchorEstimated Schedule
The work is planned to be completed by FY25.
anchor Justification
The COVID-19 pandemic made it necessary to quickly reconfigure housing facilities for homeless residents so that social distancing could occur. As a short-term measure, the County repurposed two recreation centers and rented a vacant office building to provide temporary shelter space while the County quickly made plans to purchase and renovate a building for a new shelter. Due to the expiration of the leased space and a desire to return the recreation centers to their intended community use, it was necessary to focus renovation work on only those work items needed to open the facility. Now that the shelter is open, this Phase 2 project will allow the County to go back and provide other improvements.
