In many communities, motels became homeless shelters during the pandemic. Now, cities are trying to continue that success.
At the height of the pandemic, countless communities across the country turned to hotels and motels to shelter the housing insecure. Three years later, many communities are looking for funding to buy or lease motels to permanently turn them into homeless shelters.
Now, those experiencing homelessness can find safety from the streets. And not only do the housing insecure have a warm place to stay, they also have their own rooms. The hotel-based shelter can house 38 people. All of them have their own private bathrooms, beds and even microwaves."We have folks who came in here that were on the street for 30 years. Because they can have their own space and get wrap-around support, they're willing to come in," Nicholson said.
Jason Noles, 29, has spent the last few years on the streets after falling out with family members. He's been in and out of plenty of shelters. At the height of the pandemic, dozens of cities talked about buying hotels to turn into homeless shelters. California alone placed 6,000 people in 4,000 rooms across 37 hotels.
