ONTARIO – Ontario city officials are considering converting a former public works building into a homeless shelter, restoring a service gone from the community for a year.
Adam Brown, Ontario city manager, said that at nearly 5,000 square feet, the building is perfect for the need.
“Honestly, there couldn’t be a building more suited for it because it already has a kitchen, bathroom and a shower,” said Brown.
Brown said he envisions the city leasing the facility to Community in Action, a local non-profit that provides services to low-income residents.
The lease, he said, would most likely need to be cheap since . . .
