Lansing’s temporary homeless housing delayed as winter approaches

Lansing’s planned temporary shelters for unhoused residents have been delayed by approval and site-planning issues, with no revised opening date. The city had hoped to open the units in September. Advent House Ministries director Susan Cancro says indoor space is urgently needed as temperatures fall, recalling that the organization helped more than 600 people find shelter during last year’s extended Code Blue period. A separate drop-in shelter rezoning proposal is scheduled for City Council consideration Dec. 7, News 10 reports.
