What: how Syracuse and local providers shelter and house unhoused people, and what the Common Council can do about it.
Where it stands: an information session on 2026-10-28 heard providers, the school district and public speakers; no votes. Providers pointed to rents and a lack of affordable units (a $386 monthly single-person rent allowance, about 1,000 people on the coordinated entry list), and asked for a 24/7 hospitality center.
Next: a joint county-city housing meeting on the 16th; Moore also wants faster rehabilitation of about 1,300 vacant homes.
Providers reported shelter use, street caseloads and placements; speakers described warming-center conditions and synthetic drug use. The school district reported rising student and family homelessness. Moore asked for data on people served and on clients from outside the county.
