Women and children down on their luck may one day have a new temporary home in North Charleston. The city, along with North Charleston Housing Authority and private interests, wants to build a homeless shelter for women and children on 3.5 acres off North Rhett Avenue near the new Remount Venture defense-contracting facility. The $3.6 million project would be comprised of three buildings: an emergency shelter, transitional housing building for stays up to six months, and a donation facility for clothes, food and furnishings, said Richard Weiser, a developer with the Weiser Companies who is helping to coordinate the project. It is not expected to open until late 2009 or 2010. Read more about the proposed homeless shelter in Monday's editions of The Post and Courier. |
