Summary
At the Public Safety Committee meeting, a committee member announced the reopening of a rehabilitated Peter and Paul Shelter facility with capacity for about 300 people to help the unhoused and tornado-impacted residents; the announcement thanked CEO Anthony and nonprofit staff and volunteers.
A committee member (unnamed in the transcript) announced that the Peter and Paul Shelter reopened a rehabilitated facility that can house up to 300 individuals, calling it a major addition to shelter capacity as cold weather approaches.
"We're talking about a facility that can house up to, 300 individuals in our unhoused community, especially as it gets cold," the committee member said. The speaker praised Peter and Paul Shelter's work after a recent tornado and thanked Anthony, identified only by first name in the record, described as the CEO of Peter and Paul, along with staff and volunteers.
The committee member said the facility had previously been a Little Sisters of the Poor site and that the shelter has resources to support people impacted by the tornado. Alderman Clark Hubbard, Alderman Ann Switzer and Alderman Browning were named as attendees at the opening, and the speaker noted that state representatives and senators also attended.
The transcript does not provide details on funding, operating hours, intake policy, or a full street address for the facility. The announcement was made during the committee's statement period; no formal committee action or vote related to the shelter was recorded in the transcript.
