Council considers
cold-weather shelter
Mobile technology
impacts 'U' learning
Report recommends
expanding warming
stations for homeless
By JACK TURMAN
Daily StaffReporter
With a relatively light agen-
da, Thursday's lame-duck City
Council session featured dis-
cussion on affordable housing
and the Washtenaw County
Office of Community and Eco-
nomic Development's report on
providing shelter for those in
need during this winter.
Following last winter's
extreme weather, the office
formed a response workgroup
to better respond to the chal-
lenges faced by the homeless
during extreme winter weather.
This workgroup, which began
meeting over the summer, lis-
tened to the city's concerns and
-HS
formulated ways to improve
services and shelter offerings.
Mary Jo Callan, director of
the office of Community and
Economic Development, and
Ellen Schulmeister, executive
director of the Shelter Asso-
ciation of Washtenaw County,
went before the Council to pro-
pose four recommendations
to improve shelter services,
carrying an estimated cost of
$178,000.
Callan said this set of recom-
mendations includes expand-
ing overnight warming centers
to three churches on a rotat-
ing basis, expanding a daytime
warming center at the Delonis
Center, expanding services at the
Ann Arbor District Library and
increasing funding for hotel and
motel stays through Community
Support and Treatment Services.
While presenting the report,
Callan emphasized the impor-
tance of overnight and daytime
H-m
warming centers.
Last year, she said the Delo-
nis Centerconstantly struggled
with overcrowding.
"There were nights when
they had 89 people in a space
designed for SO," Callan said.
"That's too many."
Mayor John Hieftje (D) said
he learned 40 percent of the
people cared for at the shel-
ter were not from Washtenaw
County.
He said that while no one was
turned away from the shelter,
the resulting overcrowding took
a toll on the staff.
"The staff at the shelter was
strained to the very breaking
point and they managed to pull
that off," Hieftje said.
With discussion of homeless-
ness, Callan stressed that these
recommendations aren't a per-
manent solution to homeless-
ness and affordable housing.
"This is not a recommenda-
tion for how to solve homeless-
ness this winter," she said. "It is
a set of recommendations that
really looks at some immediate
safety solutions."
In regard to affordable hous-
ing, Hieftje clarified that the
city cannot mandate affordable
housing. Instead, he said it is a
complex process that requires
collaboration with nonprof-
its and the Ann Arbor Hous-
ing Commission, among other
stakeholders.
"We have to work with the
availability of tax-credit financ-
ing," Hieftje said. "We have to
work with people who might be
willing to build that."
Callan said this issue of
homelessness correlates with
affordable housing, an issue
that has been discussed numer-
ous times at Council meetings.
"Until we have enough of
affordable housing and appro-
priate substance use and mental
health treatment, we're going
to have folks who are homeless,"
Callan said. "It's a huge chal-
lenge for policymakers."
