Mitchell envisions serving his clients beyond the cold weather. I don t want to say goodbye to you on March 15th and I ll see you again on November 1st, says Mitchell. One day I would like to see you off the streets and in housing and beginning to meet all the various need points in your life.
Mitchell wants to build a permanent shelter to use during the cold months. The city of Madras has agreed to write a grant asking for $1.5 million from the federal Community Development Block Grant Programs. Only cities and counties can apply for the block grants, says Jeff Hurd, Madras Public Works director. And we have the experience and expertise.
