Next month鈥檚 agenda will appear in a separate post in early October.
News and Updates
Update on Temporary Bryants Building Homeless Shelter
In April 2017, we shared information about the City of Seattle鈥檚 plan to locate a temporary homeless shelter in the 听adjacent to the 天美影视传媒鈥檚 West Campus. The Bryants Building was formerly the 天美影视传媒 Police Department station and was transferred from the UW to the City to be turned into a park. That design work is under way and can be found .
As a result of shelter space loss in other parts of the city, Seattle鈥檚 Human Services Department was forced to find alternate space for displaced homeless men needing shelter. Since work on the new park won鈥檛 start until fall, Bryants was available for this summer. Intended as temporary emergency shelter for individuals being served by Operation Nightwatch, the Bryants Building shelter became operational on May 10, providing a safe place for single, adult men to stay the night with capacity for just over 70 individuals.
The City is delivering on its commitment to relocate the shelter by the end of August to allow work to begin on the new Portage Bay Park. From the City of Seattle鈥檚 recent notice to neighbors:
鈥淎ugust 31, 2017 will mark the last full night of services being provided from this location. Services will be gradually scaled down over the Labor Day weekend, as individuals currently receiving shelter at the Bryant Building begin transitioning to other shelter locations including the new City-funded 24-hour enhanced shelter, Compass at First Presbyterian. The site will permanently close the morning of September 5, 2017.鈥�
For information about some of the ways UW students, staff and faculty are responding to this region鈥檚 homelessness crisis, see the webpage.
