TACOMA, Wash. Tacoma officials are looking at two properties as potential sites for shelters to address homelessness.
The proposal is part of Tacoma’s lofty goal to end homelessness in the city by November of this year. One property is a 13,000-square-foot empty lot at 8208 Pacific Ave, and the other is an undeveloped 33,000-square-foot site near 3901 33rd St. NE.
