Guam could soon see a permanent homeless shelter after being approved for a federal grant.
Roy Gamboa from the Guam State Clearinghouse shared the news during an Interagency Council on Homelessness and the Office of Homelessness and Poverty Prevention meeting Thursday.
He said the office was able to get a Department of Interior grant for $3 million for the acquisition and operation of a permanent non-congregate shelter for Guam s homeless population.
Gamboa said the procurement process for the building is in progress and he hopes to have the shelter up and running in the next couple of months.
The government of Guam has a temporary homeless shelter at Global Dorm, Maite.
