SPOKANE, Wash. — The City of Spokane has issued a new request for proposal for a new operator at the Trent homeless shelter.
According to a statement from the Spokane Homeless Coalition, the basic points of interest for a new operator are as follows:
- The new Contract to operate the TRAC Shelter is for the period of October 16, 2023 through October 30, 2024
- The total budget for this contract is $9,000,000 (that’s roughly $5,000,000 below the current annual budget for that shelter)
- The Contract will be to operate a shelter for 350 people experiencing homelessness, plus to provide services (as detailed in the RFP)
- Applications are due by Friday August 18, 2023, at 5:00 PM.
This news comes just months after a report revealed the city was facing a $4 million deficit for operational expenses at the Trent and Cannon Street shelters. In 2024, that deficit is projected to jump to $10 million.
At this time, residents who lived at the Cannon Street Shelter have moved to the Trent shelter after Cannon's contract expired in May.
