CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — The site of a Corvallis apartment complex that caught fire will soon host the city’s first permanent supportive housing for the chronically homeless.
The Corvallis Gazette-Times reports the project, Partners Place, will be completed in June and could get its first tenants in July or August.
The people who occupy the building’s eight apartments will have been living on the street for at least a year, or have experienced multiple bouts of homelessness.
The Corvallis Homeless Shelter Coalition, which has been behind the project, has raised more than $1.1 million, enough to cover land, construction and startup costs.
