PALO ALTO — City leaders are plowing ahead with plans to build an 88-bed emergency homeless shelter near the Baylands as part of a Project Homekey proposal, but the city is still waiting for the state funding it needs to start construction.
In a 6-1 vote Monday, councilman Greg Tanaka dissenting, council members voted to extend the Emergency Shelter Crisis it declared in September 2021 and to draw up a standard agreement with the state for a Project Homekey grant, both moves that will make starting construction easier when the grant money does finally come in.
