Partnering with Lacey, Thurston County, and service providers, the city aims to expand housing, boost shelters, and connect residents with critical support before displacement. Mayor Payne warns that past closures without alternatives led to scattered, unsafe outcomes, so this time, the focus is on stability, not speed. With 14 successful prior closures showing that proactive support leads to better results, the city is determined to turn this complex challenge into a lasting, humane victory for the community.
