The Kearney Center is set to reopen its doors Thursday, bringing as many as 100 clients from hotel rooms it has been renting for the past year during the coronavirus pandemic.
At the same time, 24 people will be moving into more permanent housing, 18 of them tapping into Rapid Rehousing funding through the Big Bend Continuum of Care.
The 100 people who will again take shelter and seek services at the Pensacola Street facility are vaccinated against the coronavirus, and the Kearney Center will continue its free clinics aiming to get shots in the arms of its clients.
So far, 162 clients have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
