Madison council narrowly shoots down homeless shelter Close Close Close
Earlier today, in the wee hours of the morning and after hours of public input and debate, Madison’s Common Council failed to approve purchasing a site for a new, permanent men’s homeless shelter on Zeier Road.
Alders voted 14 in favor of the purchase, with five against. But, since the proposal involved accepting three million dollars in funding from the county, and amending the city’s budget, it needed at least fifteen “yes” votes to pass.
Alder Nasra Wehelie was absent from the meeting and did not cast a vote.
