Plans are underway to open a new homeless shelter in Menomonie.
Stepping Stones of Dunn County says they have more homeless people this year than they have beds. That means many homeless are being put-up in local hotels. Stepping Stones is hoping to end that by opening a new shelter for up to 20 homeless people The idea is to build on land they already own along Stout Road. The design is a one–and-a-half million-dollar, 58 hundred square foot shelter.
Stepping Stones and the city of Menomonie hope to land a state grant that would pay for the entire project.
