While the location is moving for both operations, Betcher says the organizations involved are not changing. “The Landing MN will continue to run the Day Center, with assistance from the City of Rochester while the Rochester Community Warming Center services will continue to be provided by Catholic Charities and Olmsted County.”
“Being in one location works really well right now, especially at a location with ample space,” said Rochester Public Library Director Audrey Betcher.
“This temporary change of operations is the best decision to keep the unsheltered homeless in our community as healthy and safe as possible during this pandemic. When we operated the warming center out of the Mayo Civic Center earlier this year, it worked out quite successfully, so I’m expecting much of the same this time around,” said Director of Olmsted County Housing and Redevelopment Authority Dave Dunn. “After four weeks, we will evaluate whether the stay at the Mayo Civic Center will need to be extended.”
Throughout the ongoing health crisis, City of Rochester and Olmsted County officials have worked together to provide services to individuals experiencing homelessness.
