Cedar Rapids Safe Place project saves historic house site
Cedar Rapids progress on the Safe Place Foundation housing program culminates in saving the 529 Sixth Ave. SE property for a renovated 16‑bed home. By June 25, residents move from 721 Fifth Ave. SE to the new location funded by a $20,000 U.S. Tobacco donation and $150,000 in grants and gifts. The effort, led by Halvorsen, aims to provide up to 18 months of transitional housing for chronic alcoholics and drug addicts near downtown services.
