MANTECA DROPS QUAEX FOR HOMELESS WITH ( ) City Council sees 8-acre South Main site as best way for holistic homeless solution The 8.1 acres are along South Main Street between B.R. Funsten Flooring and Extra Space Storage.
Manteca’s elected leaders are walking away from the Qualex site as the linchpin in a stepped up effort to address the city’s homeless problems.
They will continue to squat, so to speak, on the Qualex parking lot by using it for temporary homeless services such as the current warming center until someone in Sacramento tells the city they have to auction off the site as part of the shutdown of the former Manteca Redevelopment Agency that then Gov. Jerry Brown pulled the plug on 10 years ago to help the state weather the Great Recession.

The City of Manteca is suspending all “non-essential operations” in a bid to reduce the municipal workforce exposure to COVID-19.
City Manager Miranda Lutzow said the move similar to what was done at the start of the pandemic emergency in March is designed to avoid a surge of municipal workforce COVID-19 cases that could cripple Manteca’s ability to provide essential services.
It means a wide variety of services such as having someone answer the phone promptly when you call city hall to tree trimming will go to the wayside until coronavirus conditions improve.
