Danbury gets more time to plan for future of homeless services

The gubernatorial executive order about congregate settings during the pandemic has been extended by the legislature until April 15th.  That's the new deadline Danbury is facing when it comes to figuring out where to shelter the City's homeless population.  Danbury is being sued over the Zoning Commission's rejection of an application by a nonprofit for an 86-room shelter with emergency and supportive housing units.  Neighbors of the former Super 8 motel, which Pacific House bought with federal and state funding, objected to the location citing safety concerns and potentially criminal activity brought to the neighborhood.  When the pandemic started, Danbury and other nonprofits closed the smaller shelters in the City.
