Tri-Cities hotels to shelter homeless and quarantined in face of coronavirus
At least one Tri-Cities hotel could soon be housing the homeless who have no other place to sleep because of the coronavirus.
The state Department of Commerce awarded a more than $700,000 grant for sheltering the homeless in Benton and Franklin counties.
The unnamed hotel agreed to house people displaced because slightly more than half as many people can be housed at the Tri-City Union Gospel Mission in Pasco because of social distancing restrictions.
“We have worked out an agreement with one of the local hotel chains to provide quarantine beds and meals for individuals my office refers to them,” said Kyle Sullivan, Department of Human Services’ administrator.
