GREEN BAY - There may be a solution to the overcrowding issue at a Green Bay homeless shelter if the Catholic Diocese gets its way.continue at Fox 11
For the last few weeks, the St. John the Evangelist shelter near downtown has been facing a daily citation for having more than 64 overnight residents. Shelter leaders say an answer to the overcrowding problem may be in two rooms.
“We have another part of the building here on the west side of the building. Another two classrooms that can accommodate an additional 20 people,” shelter executive director Alexia Wood said.
Now, shelter leaders want to make it legal.
“Our intention is to re-open the conditional use permit and look to increase our bed capacity to 84,” Wood said.
The 20 beds are part of the shelter's original emergency overflow plan.
How the city of Green Bay is not getting blasted in the media over this is a bit strange. Maybe there's more to the story.
