SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Some community organizations that serve the homeless in the community are in favor of not only a proposed shelter, but also transitional housing a special use permit will allow in Savannah.
West Savannah non profit organizations like West Savannah Community Organization have served the area for several years.
They’ve expressed their approval for a proposed homeless shelter on Augusta Avenue.
“We embrace that we will eventually work together as a neighborhood at the end of the day when everybody who has been in an uproar goes home. At the end of the day we will still live here and we will still get along with that as they build and develop,” said Marsha Buford, President of West Savannah Community Organization.
