Expand how $50,000 in federal pandemic funds can help Rydin Road homeless residents

Rydin RoadBudget

In Plain English

The city allocated $50,000 in December 2021 specifically for vehicle repairs to help homeless residents at Rydin Road relocate. City staff found that limiting the money to just vehicle repairs was too restrictive to meet residents' actual needs. If approved, the Community Development Department can spend the funds more flexibly on safety and basic needs while helping residents find permanent housing.
