The City Overlook program opened in mid-May 2022 in the area on the south side of the National Guard Armory building. This tent-based safe sleeping program operated by the Salvation Army has the capacity to serve 65 persons on a 24/7 basis and ten persons overnight. The 24/7 program has been operating at near full capacity since late June 2022. In anticipation of the closure of the County’s shelter program inside the Armory building on June 30, 2022, City staff engaged The Salvation Army in discussions regarding operation of a City-funded program in this space. At the June 28, 2022 Council meeting, Council approved a contract with The Salvation Army to operate an expanded program with a total capacity of 135 persons at the Armory site for fiscal year 2022-2023. The Salvation Army is currently recruiting to fill the positions for the expanded program, and City Staff has been working with them to get the contract finalized and the expanded program up and running as soon as possible. The programming that The Salvation Army provides at the Armory includes two meals a day, and regular shuttle service from the site to central locations in the city. When necessary, the Salvation Army will also be working with local providers (e.g., Liftline and ParaCruz) regarding specialized transportation for persons with disabilities.
