Homeward Bound plans to re-purpose hotel to house the homeless

Amber Adams on February 5, 2021

Homeward Bound recently announced its plans to purchase the Days Inn hotel located at 201 Tunnel Road, with the intent to repurpose the hotel into 85 permanent supportive housing units for the community’s most at-need neighbors. 

“After years of studying our community need and operating a small permanent supportive housing residence, Homeward Bound has a housing solution that will provide stability, safety, and improved quality of life for 85 of our community’s most vulnerable homeless neighbors,” Switzer said in a statement. “We are calling it ‘Home is Key.’”

      My husband , myself and our service dog which is a sweet pit bull have been living in our van for a year now. But unfortunately our van isn’t running atm. We park wherever we can to sleep and there isn’t alot of places to park. But now with the van broke down we are really in a bad situation. How can we get help. My husband is on SSI but can’t work due to his brain injury he got a few years ago and I’m on unemployment at the moment with no car I can’t really go to job interviews . I had gotten a job at once place and they fired me when they found out I lived in my van.
