Mayor Joe Hogsett is scheduled to announce details Tuesday morning along with anti-homelessness advocates. A news release from his office says the projects stem from the Continuum of Care program.
The goal is to provide sustainable housing while addressing the causes of homelessness. Those causes can include mental health issues, addiction, self-sufficiency and family trauma.
