Mayor Rhodes-Conway said, “The City is so grateful for our partnership with Representative Pocan. During the entire pandemic he has kept his focus on the critical needs of his district. COVID has taught us that Madison needs a purpose-built men’s shelter to give men facing homelessness the same safety, dignity and services that our other shelters provide. This $2-million investment is a huge win for the unsheltered and a shot in the arm for our shelter effort.” To watch the full press conference, click here. |
