$20 million expansion of Tacoma’s largest homeless shelter in the works

From the article:

Duke Paulson, executive director of Tacoma Rescue Mission, told The News Tribune the organization is planning to expand the men’s shelter from roughly 90 beds to a capacity of 205.

The roughly 24,000-square-foot, multi-floor project will be built adjacent to the current men’s shelter.

The project is going to be constructed at a time when Tacoma is anticipated to lose more than 300 of its homeless shelter beds in June due to a funding shortfall. City officials have maintained optimism they will be able to get state funding made available in the budget to support local homeless programs, but the timeline and process for getting the funding remain unclear.
