Manteca’s homeless warming center this winter will cost taxpayers significantly more than last year.
The City Council when they meet today at 5 o’clock will decide between two options for a homeless warming center. One is a 40-foot by 80-foot tent option for $180,000. The other is a 48-foot by 60-foot modular options for $225,000.
Last winter the city in partnership with Inner City Action opened a warming center with the city setting aside $25,000 to run generators to heat the tent. The faith-based non-profit handled the other costs through donations. They did get some additional help from the city when donations came up short to cover fuel to run the generators.
The City Council meeting can be viewed livestreaming via the city’s website or by going to Comcast Cable TV Channel 97.
