Yakima Herald | Transform Yakima Together settles on location for emergency winter weather shelter
October 27, 2017
“A local religious group has settled on a location — one it previously wasn’t considering — for its temporary winter homeless shelter.
Transform Yakima Together’s shelter is planned at 1702 Englewood Ave. in northwest Yakima, near the Yakima County Juvenile Court.
Owners of the building had been considering making it available to Transform Yakima before the group’s director, Andy Ferguson, called. That was a welcome change from the pushback Transform Yakima experienced when considering locations on South First Street and East Washington Avenue.
With about two weeks left before the shelter would open, the group worked quickly to meet safety standards, Ferguson said.”
