The city of Longview took steps to pause operations of its homeless housing community this month while also tightening restrictions on public camping.
Starting Oct. 1, operations at Longview’s Hope Village, a 50-unit pallet shelter, will be put on indefinite pause.
Hope Village is operated by the Salvation Army.
Hope Village costs Longview $1.5 million per year to operate.
That could include reopening Hope Village in the future under different management from the Salvation Army.
