Build a Shelter in New City Hall
- Issue: The Seattle City Council is considering legislation from the Mayor to develop unused space in City Hall to make it available for at least 75 severe-weather shelter beds starting this winter. The Council should support the effort to stabilize this important shelter. It's a smart proposal that will ensure the availability of shelter for years to come.
