~ Spokane, WA - In a new effort to address homelessness in the city, the City of Spokane has partnered with Catholic Charities Eastern Washington to reserve emergency shelter beds for first responders to transport unhoused individuals who are willing to accept placement. This initiative, announced by Communications Director Erin Hut, aims to provide first responders with a critical new tool to connect people in need with immediate shelter and supportive services.
Under this partnership, three reserved beds will be available at the House of Charity for intake between the hours of 9 p.m. and midnight. These beds are specifically designated for use by police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel when encountering unhoused men who are ready to accept help.
This new initiative is part of the City of Spokane's broader strategy to approach homelessness through coordinated outreach and stabilization efforts. Mayor Lisa Brown expressed her support for the partnership, stating that "partnership is what drives results" and that this effort is a clear example of that. She believes that by working together with Catholic Charities, first responders will have a new tool to connect people with the support they need.
