The nonprofit has to evacuate its current building along Maxwell Boulevard by Dec. 31 to make way for the city’s new whitewater rafting park.
While at the MAP Center, the Salvation Army will continue offering a variety of services, but it will be unable to house homeless individuals on site.
“They don’t have sprinkler systems so they can’t house people in that facility,” Johnson said. “So that’s a no go from the fire department.” Instead, the Salvation Army has helped people find affordable housing. Some people will be staying in motel rooms while veterans have been placed in veterans housing.
This is only a temporary fix while the group searches for a permanent building. They want a shelter that can serve 30 men, 10 women and 15 families. “We haven’t quite put the ribbon around that one, but we do have a permanent location that I think is going to be fitting for our services as we move into the next decade,” Johnson said.and get the latest local news and breaking alerts in your email!
