Thanks to the City of Eureka, Crowley property will house people previously living on the streets

 

(Miles Slattery)

The City of Eureka's project to develop the vacant Crowley property on Hilfiker Lane is finally a reality. City staff have been busy for a week and today helping people off the street into units.

Eureka City Manager Miles Slattery told me, "There are 33 units, but can sleep up to 38. We currently have 14 tenants in place and are going to continue to add community members. Accomodations allowed for pets and couples too."

I briefly spoke to Betty Chinn and she said group by group, these people who are most vulnerable are now housed. She has been delivering food. Case management services are being provided by the City of Eureka and their partnership with organizations like Betty Chinn's Foundation.
