Community Update - Temporary Emergency Shelter

At MCSS, our focus remains on supporting Mission residents who need a safe place to stay, including seniors, working individuals, families experiencing hardship, and long-time community members facing housing challenges.

We have heard the concerns of our community, and we appreciate everyone who took the time to share their perspective. The lease offer for the former Outlaws restaurant has been withdrawn. MCSS will not be moving forward with this property, and a temporary Use Permit Application for this location was not completed.

As the shelter operator, our role is to provide services and supports. Decisions regarding shelter locations and broader housing solutions involve government partners working alongside the City and community agencies.

We remain committed to respectful dialogue, transparency, and working collaboratively with our community to find solutions that strengthen Mission for everyone.

Community Update: Temporary Shelter Proposal

At MCSS, our focus remains on supporting Mission residents who need a safe place to stay, including seniors, working individuals, families experiencing hardship, and long-time community members facing housing challenges.

We encourage residents to read the full statement from our Board of Directors and Senior Leadership Team and to rely on accurate information from official sources as this process continues.

As the shelter operator, our role is to provide services and supports. Decisions regarding shelter locations and broader housing solutions involve government partners working alongside the City and community agencies.

We understand there are questions and concerns about the proposed temporary shelter location being considered while Haven undergoes repairs following the fire.

The current proposal remains under review and no final decisions have been made. We are continuing to work with our partners to explore options that best support both those in need and the broader community.

We remain committed to respectful dialogue, transparency, and working collaboratively with our community to find solutions that strengthen Mission for everyone.
