Kansas City Works To Turn Columbus Park Into EPIC Homeless Shelter

A glimpse at the plan that already confronts significant push back . . .

The city is considering a handful of applications for more than $4.7 million that would be used to create a low barrier shelter for homeless people.

That means it would be open around the clock so people who need a place to stay are not kicked out onto the street, it doesn't have any required training or classes to stay, and it would be able to take in people who are under the influence in most cases.

It would be a place for local organizations to connect with people who would benefit from their services with the ultimate goal of getting those people into permanent housing.

Also . . .

LET'S NOT PRETEND THAT THIS PROJECT WON'T TURN THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD INTO AN EPIC MECCA FOR HOMELESS FROM THROUGHOUT DOWNTOWN!!!
