COMPREHENSIVE SITING PLAN

In August 2021 the Mayor and City Council approved a Comprehensive Siting Plan that listed 20 sites that could provide space for various types of shelters for people experiencing homelessness. City staff has been working since then to evaluate each site and develop a plan to open the most viable sites.

The City has these shelters and resources online now to help address homelessness. Some of these were in the Comprehensive Siting Plan, others preceded it, or are in addition to it.
