They have plans to add about 120 permanent supportive housing, among other renovations to existing buildings and other new facilities in the North of Downtown campus. Here's the application for special use permit up for approval in March. It's a large document with lots of site plans and such, so it is easier to view if downloaded versus viewed in your browser.

Re: Open Door Mission Expansion - 20th and Locust
Glad to see it. Can't fight homelessness without building housing. I know at least one unhoused person in my neighborhood who is on the streets because they can't take normal shelters, for one reason or another. Hopefully this kind of permanent housing can help them.
