The new shelter will be designed and constructed to replace the aging facility at New York Avenue. The updated facility will provide essential space for the services currently offered by DHS, while also accommodating additional capacity for hypothermia. The project will follow a Design-Bid-Build delivery method, with the design focused on maximizing value, durability, and functionality, while minimizing maintenance requirements, utility costs, and programmatic changes. The construction phase will prioritize delivering a high-quality facility on time and within budget.
