Tacoma Rescue Mission shelter bed expansion

• Luis Rivera Zayas – Tacoma Rescue Mission - luisr@trm.org
• We are increasing capacity at the Downtown campus
  • Only adults – not families.  Working on a facility primarily serving women. 
  • Laundry service – with our expansion. We will increase our laundry facilities by a factor of 4 – available for anyone experiencing homelessness.
  • Groundbreaking on the expansion in June
  • Theresa - What about all the ground being unsound in that area? (a newspaper article about this from 4 years ago - https://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/matt-driscoll/article32707131.html) The other building did have some settling – but no settling over last few years. 
  • If you are remodeling your warehouse for this shelter, where will you store things?  Luis- we are looking for a location for our donation center.
