Model Cities and Ramsey County to host Town Hall for Safe Space Shelter relocation
Model Cities, together with Ramsey County, will host a community town hall Tuesday, May 21 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. to announce the relocation of Safe Space Shelter. The shelter is expected to transition to Luther Seminary in Saint Paul in mid- summer. The shelter move is a part of a phased approach to close Ramsey County’s Government Center East building, in which the shelter currently operates. Residents are encouraged to attend the town hall to ask questions and share comments with county and city officials as well as Model Cities staff. View full event details.
Those interested may also submit anonymous questions or comments online. Responses to questions or concerns will be posted to ramseycounty.us/HSD following the town hall event and updated periodically.
