ARPA reallocation to Opening Doors Northwest Florida

Summary

About $448,000 left over from the defunct Pallet shelter contract would go to Opening Doors to help buy its facility on New Warrington Road. Council Member Bare pressed whether this ends funding hopes for the Pallet shelters — staff said yes, and the federal money expires December 31 regardless.
