Project Homeless presents lease for warming center at 220 S. Washington
Summary
Project Homeless presented a lease for a building at 220 South Washington to be used as a warming center and said a letter of donation has been prepared to support 501(c)(3) status; the group reported serving about 8'15 people at the shelter.
Darren Huey of Project Homeless presented the commission with a lease for a building at 220 South Washington to operate as a warming center, telling commissioners his organization has prepared a letter of donation in pursuit of 501(c)(3) recognition. Huey said the shelter has been serving about 8 to 15 people per night and that one client has recently entered treatment and two others are moving into apartments this week.
Huey asked the commission to consider the lease and to approve any county-level administrative steps required for the center to operate. The organization answered commissioners' questions about operations and clarified that it is pursuing formal nonprofit status to support donations and services.
Commissioners did not record a formal vote on the lease in the excerpted transcript; staff indicated administrative follow-up would occur if the commission moves forward with approval or support.
