Providing temporary shelter to homeless families
An agreement for the City to lease and purchase the former Karmenta nursing home property at 4502 Milwaukee Street was approved at the Tuesday, December 1 Common Council meeting. The City may sublease the property temporarily to The Salvation Army, and later develop the site.
At the November 17 Common Council meeting, zoning changes were approved that would allow for the potential temporary use of the former Karmenta site as a "mission house" for families experiencing homelessness. A Mission House is defined in the City's Zoning Code as 'A facility operated by a religious institution or nonprofit organization that provides lodging. May also include the provision of meals, worship services, or other supportive services.'
A virtual community meeting on these items is scheduled for Tuesday, December 15 at 6 pm. You can join the virtual meeting using your computer, smartphone or tablet. You will receive login information after registering.
You can also join the meeting via telephone by calling 877-853-5257 (toll free). The meeting ID is 925 1589 9179.
