Downtown shelter plan shifts to programed guests only
LINK plans a new facility that will not include a drop in center and will house only overnight guests enrolled in programs. The shift could leave 25 to 30 downtown homeless campers relying on The Salvation Army meals while merchants hope for reduced panhandling but not closure of food programs. Local officials weigh transit changes and marketing to redirect donations. Downtown Lawrence Inc urges city study of a public campaign to educate donors about serving the homeless.
