Temporary overflow shelter shuts down leaving risk of street camping
The Lawrence temporary shelter at First Christian Church closed after city inspection found code violations including missing sprinklers. The shelter housed 30 to 40 nightly, with the main facility at 31 beds, while the group seeks a permanent site and considers expanding the building to 40 more people. Community groups urge action, noting Salvation Army and church programs continue but no reopen plan exists. Authorities warn of potential homelessness spikes and possible civil disobedience if no shelter beds remain, as residents await a durable solution.
