jice 15 Report post Posted August 29, 2010 Looks like the building looming off of 8th Ave S that i'm sure many of us (including myself) have wondered what it is... is now open. It looks like a very stylish and urban building, from what you can see of the outside from a vehicle Room in the Inn opens permanent housing for homeless 38 apartments, 500 sq ft, fully furnished, rent ranging from $200-$550, depending on income. Applicants must have a job, Social Security, or military benefits. $13 million expansion also includes 13-classroom learning center; expanded medical respite care for individuals recovering from illness or injury; midday meal services to 200 to 300 people daily; personal hygiene facilities, including showers and laundry services; an on-site Department of Human Services office, education and job readiness programs, short-term storage and secure storage for important documents and prescriptions, and on-site library/Internet access.

East Side Urbanite 223 Report post Posted August 31, 2010 I agree with jice. RoomInn is an attractive building. The design firm is 12South-based Oxford Architecture. I'm hoping to get some info from the firm and to use in a post for my blog. I like this building. WW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
