Community Supported Shelters plans to close a 20-unit Eugene shelter site while consolidating operations
Community Supported Shelters announced that its Westmoreland Park Safe Spot would close by October 31. The nonprofit characterized the move as a planned consolidation intended to reduce the cost and complexity of operating many separate sites. It said residents were being relocated individually to other shelter sites or permanent housing and that total capacity would remain above its contractual requirement.
