Columbia, MO. (KMIZ)
Plans are in the works for a new living facility to help the homeless population in Columbia.
The Voluntary Action Center (VAC) announced Tuesday that with the help of several other organizations it is moving forward with creating the campus. The facility will provide emergency shelter, transitional housing, affordable housing, meals, and dental and clinical wraparound services.
Ed Stansberry, the executive director of VAC, said the vision of the facility is to provide a full-scale level of services that can lift people out of homelessness and put them back into mainstream society.
