The Assembly's action resolves the last major piece of the city’s winter shelter plan.
Officials say the building could house up to 150 people and would provide food services, showers and case workers.
The people living in the vehicles said they were frustrated and angry that their dwellings were being carted off to languish in impound lots.
Unlike last winter, the plan does not include a mass shelter like the Sullivan Arena.
Community members gathered at Lutheran Church of Hope to learn how to compost.
