Council extends Salvation Army emergency shelter contract and approves private security; Cary Building and Prop 1 grants eyed for treatment beds
Summary
The council approved a one‑year extension of the Salvation Army emergency shelter agreement and a related security services contract. Staff described the shelter’s outcomes and said the nonprofit is pursuing additional grants to add recovery‑oriented housing and clinical capacity on the same campus.
The Anaheim City Council voted June 17 to extend the contract with the Salvation Army to operate the city’s emergency shelter and to continue contracted security at the site.
Council action and purpose
Council approved a one‑year extension of the existing Salvation Army shelter agreement through June 30, 2026, increasing the contract authority to not exceed about $48.8 million (the aggregate since 2019). The extension continues city support for the site the city and Salvation Army describe as the largest single emergency shelter in Orange County. Council also approved a contract extension for on‑site private security services from a contracted provider to continue 24/7 perimeter and entry‑control functions; staff described the security contract as roughly a $1 million annual authorization.
