Commission appropriates $25,000 to SwitchPoint homeless resource center
Summary
Washington County approved a $25,000 appropriation to SwitchPoint Community Resource Center, the county's primary homeless shelter, and encouraged cities benefiting from the center to contribute as well.
The commission approved Resolution R2026-3766 to appropriate $25,000 to SwitchPoint Community Resource Center, which county staff described as the only homeless shelter serving Washington County. The chair said the appropriation is a county contribution to supplement city funding and private fundraising efforts and encouraged other municipalities to increase their support given that many city residents benefit from the shelter’s services.
Commissioners noted SwitchPoint's role in regional safety nets and said the county's contribution aims to support operations while leveraging additional city and private support. The motion passed by voice vote.
