The city of Wichita’s housing department has put together a $5.5 million dollar plan to improve housing options and services for the city’s homeless. Housing director Sally Stang says her department consulted with over 20 organizations in Wichita and Sedgwick counties that work with the homeless to put it together. “We looked at this as an opportunity to really address and take a deep dive into the resources and the gaps in our community and providing those resources for those in need.” The project includes three parts, creating a non-congregant shelter, which would be single rooms for people to stay in for short periods of time. Stang says there isn’t really that type of shelter in the city right now.
