Beacon kicked off the public portion of fund raising for its new facility Tuesday night.

Bloomington’s only shelter dedicated to women experiencing homelessness, the Wheeler Shelter for Women, closed nearly a year ago.

The Supreme Court ruled to uphold an Oregon's city ban on sleeping outside, allowing cities to enforce criminal punishments even when there isn't shelter space.

Two new developments in Bloomington are moving forward with approval from the city’s plan commission.

Beacon plans to build a new two-story 45,000 square foot shelter on the 10-acre lot, which would hold day services and overnight shelter for people experiencing homelessness.

Last year, anti-poverty organization Beacon Inc., was able to open a low-barrier winter homeless shelter in a warehouse along the B-Line Trail. That won’t be the case this year.
