MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – As colder days approach, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter announced that two emergency shelters will open in St. Paul for people experiencing homelessness.
The two facilities – Harriet Island Pavilion and the Duluth and Case Recreation Center – will provide up to 50 beds each so that 100 people can have shelter space in an emergency overnight capacity. The need for more shelter space has become more apparent as the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the housing crisis in the city.
