Should Fort Wayne wait to build a homeless shelter until the state decides whether or not a casino could come to Allen County? While the two things may seem entirely unrelated, these two structures are at the heart of a letter WANE 15 independently obtained on Monday.
“Homelessness is one of my top priorities,” wrote Mayor (D) Sharon Tucker to Fort Wayne City Council in a Dec. 19 letter. “Unfortunately, municipal governments do not have many tools for addressing this issue.”
To address these issues, the city has been moving towards building a new homeless services center, first presented to the public in October of this year.
