The Stewart B. McKinney Men’s Emergency Shelter is moving into the former Days Inn hotel at 207 Brainard Road in Hartford.
Gov. Ned Lamont said the state-funded project is meant to improve the quality of care the shelter provides. The shelter’s current location at 34 Huyshope Ave. contains a large congregate setting.
The state is providing more than $3.4 million in funding for the Community Renewal Team, which owns and operates the shelter, to purchase the former hotel and create the new shelter. Construction is set to begin in October.
