Ksan lines up $420,000 grant for homeless shelter renovation
The Ksan Society is getting $420,000 to help turn the former Elks Hall into its new homeless shelter location.
Work at the location has been going on since fall and the society had expected to open the location this month but that’s been put off until January because of delays in getting construction material, said society executive director Amanda Owens. Ksan’s plans to move its 20-bed shelter touched off considerable opposition from Southside residents, resulting in more than 372 people signing a petition to city council asking it to stop the project.
A search for a new location for the shelter now on Lakelse Ave. began after the society determined it needed the space for offices.
