Manchester aldermen approve using former police headquarters as homeless shelter

City aldermen have approved the former Manchester police department headquarters as a temporary emergency winter homeless shelter.
The agreement ends a months-long search for accommodations for the city’s homeless during the cold months ahead.
Manchester aldermen voted 12-1 to approve the plan to use the building, with Joe Kelly Levasseur opposed.
For $18,000 a month, Families in Transition-New Horizons (FIT-NH) will lease about 10,000 square feet on two floors at 351 Chestnut St., with enough space to have separate areas for day programming and beds.
CEO Maria Devlin of FIT-NH said the lease with 351 Chestnut Street LLC will run from Dec. 15 through April 15, 2021. Devlin expects to provide shelter for 45 to 50 people at the new location. The rent covers all utilities, including heat, officials said Thursday.
