The pilot program focuses on providing a safe space for about 20 people to park and live in this city owned property off 116th Avenue.
The program, originally proposed in January will provide access to bathrooms and showers as well as on site resources to get people housed. Quijano said despite the lack of success, the city is doing what it can to ensure capable organizations apply.
"Having conversations with organizations that are likely to apply and letting them know what we'll need to see and letting them know what it will take to run the program successfully," said Quijano. The city hopes to select an operator in the coming weeks and is still optimistic the program will launch before the end of the year.
"Especially knowing what the need is and how badly its needed in the community, we're going to push to make sure we can, if at all possible," said Quijano.
