ICCS to Build New Shelter

The largest growing segment of homelessness in Utah is families. Currently, homeless families in Cedar City are turned away because the current shelter cannot accomodate them. Plans are under way for a new homeless shelter to be built next to the new food bank on 900 North. The anticipated cost is $500,000. The ICCS has secured a $174,000 grant and will have to rely on donations to make up the remaining $326,000. The Interfaith Alliance is planning a fundraising dinner and concert to be held Thursday, May 14th at the Heritage Center. The public is encouraged to attend.
