Those experiencing homelessness in the Springfield area will soon have more options for shelter, according to a press release.
The Kitchen Inc. will break ground at 11 a.m. Jan. 10 on a second group of units for its Emergency Shelter program.
The new group will feature 12 modular units at 1855 E. Chestnut Expressway, each of which has a private bathroom and kitchenette. A half-court basketball court will also be part of the addition, adding to already-existing amenities that include a laundry room, computer room, playground, animal kennels and on-site case management, according to the press release.
“This expansion addresses Springfield’s urgent need for temporary housing solutions, offering a supportive environment for families and individuals as they transition to permanent housing,” said Meleah Spencer, CEO of The Kitchen Inc.
The Emergency Shelter program opened in November 2018 with 13 units and a 50-bed capacity, according to The Kitchen. It is a 90-day program that provides temporary shelter for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
“This program creates a path to permanent housing and this expansion marks a significant step in our mission to end homelessness in Springfield,” Spencer said in the press release. “In shelter, participants have the safety and support to address their barriers to stable housing. Case Managers work with these individuals to connect them with the necessary resources.
