Pierce County wants to double homeless shelter space. It has begun asking for ideas
Oct. 9—Pierce County is looking to more than double the number homeless shelter beds across the county in an effort to end street homelessness.
In a "request for information" bid posted Wednesday, the county asks providers to help find ways to create 2,300 shelter beds in various projects.
The proposal from Pierce County Human Services has a goal that more than half the shelter space will be sanctioned encampments across the county.
Interested organizations can send a proposal with potential costs and additional ideas. Pierce County communication director Libby Catalinich said the request is like crowdsourcing for ideas, not specific projects. Applicants would not be committing to implementing a project.
