When the Health and Human Services Agency first obtained grant funding for the creation of a Homeless Services Center and purchased the building at 1161 San Felipe Road in 2016, the plan was to create a comprehensive, multi-phase project.  Phase I included the construction of a homeless shelter using a CDBG award and was completed in November 2017.  Phase II design began shortly thereafter and includes staff offices, client training rooms, and kitchen and laundry facilities for the shelter.  Phase III will begin design shortly and includes transitional housing.

This Phase II project was advertised for bids in July with bids due on August 16.  Three bids were received and staff identified Tombleson Inc. as the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.  Construction would begin in early October and be completed in April.
