A local nonprofit will begin work in early 2027 improvements to its facility. Be Able officials say the changes will create a more welcoming environment and better serve the community.
Be Able opened in September 2020 and serves 65 to 80 people every day, organizers said. Located on the corner of Fifth and Yuma streets, the organization offers shelter, free Wi-Fi and computer access, food, laundry, showers, clothing, resource guidance and mail service for more than 200 people needing a temporary address to obtain identification.
Director and founder Scott Voos said improvements to the 86-year-old building will make the space feel more welcoming and modernize the building.
