Directions

A bridge shelter is a low-barrier site where those experiencing homelessness can have a place to stay as they “bridge” the space between living outside and the next step on their journey to permanent housing. After researching several potential properties, the City has identified one that could work well for a bridge shelter. This property, 5313 N.E. 94th Ave. in the Van Mall neighborhood, could be a good fit because it’s:

  • more than 2.5 acres
  • in Vancouver City limits
  • near a transit line
  • near other services
  • appropriately zoned for this use
  • equipped with utility connections

During this meeting, City staff will share more information about the proposed Bridge Shelter. Community members will have the opportunity to share their questions and comments with City staff and the onsite service provider. All community members are welcome to attend.
