Using the Reardon Center as a temporary shelter for the homeless during cold weather has been added to today’s Unified Government Commission meeting agenda.
The commission will have the opportunity to discuss the issues involving the cold weather shelter.
A proposed resolution on the revised agenda, if approved by the commission, states that the UG Commission supports using the former Reardon Convention Center facility as a temporary cold weather shelter through April 30, 2022.
The resolution states the UG has entered into a contract with Crosslines Community Outreach to provide services for the temporary cold weather shelter.
It also states the UG Commission supports finding short-term and long-term solutions, working with all interested stakeholders, to address the needs of the unhoused population of the community.
Also on today’s special meeting agenda is scheduling an executive session to discuss a candidate for employment.
