Everett plans to double Pallet shelters at Gospel Mission
EVERETT — Less than a year after Everett’s first temporary shelter village opened, the city could double the units and residents this spring.
It’s one project among the city’s efforts to alleviate homelessness. Other ideas include developing a day center and continuing support for food distribution, Community Development director Julie Willie told the Everett City Council in a presentation last week.
Some of the city’s federal $20.6 million American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) money could make them a reality. Staff recommended spending between $5.2 million and $9.9 million on shelter and homelessness support facilities.
In July, residents moved into the first 20 units on city property at Smith Avenue and 37th Street. The Everett Gospel Mission, a Christian-based nonprofit that shelters and offers recovery programs for people, manages the site for the city.
