Consideration of temporary St Stephens shelter at House of Charity Food Centre St Stephens is moving out of their current shelter on Clinton avenue by June 2021 and is looking for a temporary location. House of Charity believes their Food Centre can be modified to allow for shelter on a temporary basis while St Stephens builds a new shelter that they are now in the process of raising funds for. However, current zoning regulations prohibit a shelter in this location because it is less than 1000 feet from the St Stephens shelter at First Covenant Church. Request: Feedback on St Stephens temporary shelter at House of Charity Food Centre. |
