BY KEVIN VALINE [email protected]

Officials will ask the Stanis- laus County Board of Super- visors on Tuesday for permis- sion to move forward with opening atemporary 60-bed low-barrier homeless shelter and day center near downtown Modesto as soon as June. This is part of alarger request that includes seeking approval to develop apermanent access center, which will provide afull range of help and temporary housing for the homeless as providers work with them to eventually get them into perma- nent housing. The temporary shelter and day center would serve the same function but on asmaller scale. They could operate for as long as three years until they are replaced by the access cen- ter. The county also plans to MICHAELPROBST AP relocate its homeless outreach Athletes march into the stadium during the closing ceremonyofthe 2018 WinterOlympics in Pyeongchang,South KoreaonSunday. and engagement center to the site of the shelter and day cen- ter.
