A new homeless shelter in Huntington will offer many services

Plans are in the works for a new overnight shelter in Huntington. The City announced this week that they will open a new homeless shelter on 3rd Avenue near downtown, in a collaborative effort with Valley Health Systems, the Cabell-Huntington Health Department, Prestera, and Harmony House. In addition to shelter, the center will provide food and resources related to mental health and medical services. The city already owns the building and they’ll make some repairs and renovations before it opens. City Mission’s low-barrier shelter will continue to operate in the meantime.
