Main St. 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."
