In addition, 24 people were placed into the City's Roseville Road campus or the Outreach and Engagement Center.
As of Sept. 10, there were zero Pallet homes and zero trailers available at the Roseville Road campus as well as 12 spaces available at the Outreach and Engagement Center. There was an average of 18 openings at City funded shelters (excluding the Roseville Road campus and the OEC.)
