Now, officials are coming up with solutions to combine the shelters.
Statewide budget cuts are having major impacts on homelessness programs, including the Yuba County-run 14 Forward, a roughly 10-year-old shelter with Tuff Sheds.
After running the numbers, Burke says the county has the funds to run 14 Forward for only a couple more years. But they're coming up with a plan to keep it going, a plan he says he's pleased with.
The Yuba County Board of Supervisors will be voting later this month to give site control of 14 Forward to the neighboring Twin Cities Rescue Mission. From there, existing folks in the shelter will have to leave for renovations.
"No participants will be evicted related to this effort; however, we are working with existing participants to secure permanent housing in preparations for the construction to occur. Our goals are to improve conditions and expand operations in the future."
"I don't require people to be sober to come in. It's a sober-living facility, but Jesus never said, 'Get cleaned up before you come to me,' " said Walrath.
"We may have a different demographic, but what we have is working," said Walrath.
If the board vote goes through, the rescue mission will have site control of 14 Forward beginning July 1. Walrath says he's hoping to start construction for the women's shelter next summer.
