A city-owned building in East Downtown that has previously served as a women and children’s shelter and at one point housed migrant children is set to take on a new role as a homeless services facility.

The council meeting is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.

A vote on a $16-million homeless shelter in Houston's EaDo area was delayed, though Mayor John Whitmire confirmed plans for the adults-only center, which aims to offer psychiatric and drug addiction support.
