Description
The city of Longview is planning to build 50 cabins for homeless people during the winter at the site of an old homeless camp on Alberta Street. There will be sanitation facilities, stormwater treatment facilities, additional security, additional lighting, and other physical improvements intended to help prevent future public health and safety emergencies. It’s scheduled to open next month. The city said it doesn’t intend for the cabins to be permanent housing.
The city is also partnering with the Salvation Army to open an emergency shelter called HOPE Village. The Salvation Army will provide case management and help those experiencing homelessness find jobs, behavioral health support and housing. The city plans to open this emergency shelter in mid-November and it will be able to serve about 50 people.
