3. Bellevue Businesses Support Local Men’s Shelter

Last week, with the generous support of Bellevue businesses, the Bellevue City Council celebrated the expansion of the Congregation for the Homeless winter shelter into a year-round facility. Roughly $750,000 was raised to bring the shelter at Lincoln Center up to code; improvements are scheduled to be completed in November.

In the meantime, a temporary overnight shelter will open
