Neighborhood & Community Services (NCS) at the City of Tacoma is currently engaged in discussions with the Tacoma Public Utility (TPU) Board about the use of one of TPU’s properties for a temporary homelessness mitigation site, located at 82nd and Pacific Avenue.
NCS gave a presentation about this issue to the TPU Board this week, and can be found here.
We in the South End are advocates for services that can help in addressing the homeless crisis. We understand the concerns that surround houseless sites in our neighborhoods, and hope you will join us in advocating for better support systems that can help alleviate the need for shelters in the first place.
